Thiosalicylic acid is an organosulfur compound containing carboxyl and sulfhydryl functional groups. Its molecular formula is C6H4(SH)(CO2H). it is a yellow solid that is slightly soluble in water, ethanol and diethyl ether, and alkanes, but more soluble in DMSO.[3]
Preparation and uses
Thiosalicylic acid is prepared from 2-aminobenzoic acid via diazotization.[4]
Thiosalicylic acid is a precursor to the dyestuff thioindigo. Thiosalicylic acid is also used to make the vaccine preservative thiomersal.
Other aspects
It is a precursor to drug candidates for treatment of atherosclerosis and melanoma.[5][6]
