Thioacetic acid is an organosulfur compound with the molecular formula CH 3 C(O)SH. It is a thioic acid: the sulfur analogue of acetic acid (CH 3 C(O)OH), as implied by the thio-prefix. It is a yellow liquid with a strong thiol-like odor. It is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of thiol groups (−SH) in molecules. [4]
Acid anhydrides and some lactones also give thioesters upon treatment with thiols in the presence of a base. Thioesters can be conveniently prepared from alcohols by the Mitsunobu reaction, using thioacetic acid. [6] They also arise via carbonylation of alkynes and alkenes in the presence of thiols. [7]
The reaction was first reported in 1949 with thioacetic acid as reagent [3] [4] and rediscovered in 2009. [5] It is used in click chemistry [6] [7] [8] and in polymerization, especially with dendrimers.
At neutral pH, thiocarboxylic acids are fully ionized. Thiocarboxylic acids are about 100 times more acidic than the analogous carboxylic acids. Thiobenzoic acid has a pK a of 2.48 compared with 4.20 for benzoic acid, and thioacetic acid has a pK a near 3.4 compared with 4.72 for acetic acid. [8]

Tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) is a synthetic fatty acid used as a nutritional supplement. TTA acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) agonist and increases mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in vitro . [ 1 ]
General structure of a monothioacetal General structure of a dithioacetal. In organosulfur chemistry, thioacetals are the sulfur analogues of acetals (R−CH(−OR) 2).There are two classes: the less-common monothioacetals, with the formula R−CH(−OR')−SR", and the dithioacetals, with the formula R−CH(−SR') 2 (symmetric dithioacetals) or R−CH(−SR')−SR" (asymmetric dithioacetals).
