Thioacetamide is an organic compound (formula CH3CSNH2, that appears as a white crystal under standard conditions. It is soluble in water and ethanol, and has a melting point between 110 and 115°C. In laboratories, it can serve as a source of sulfur in the synthesis of organic compounds. It is stable at room temperature, but can produce hydrogen sulfide gas when heated, making it an ideal source, as opposed to storing toxic hydrogen sulfide as a gas in laboratories. Thioacetamide is carcinogen class 2B.
