About Thioglycollic acid, puriss, 99%+

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Thioglycollic acid (Puriss grade), a synthetic reagent registered under CAS number 68-11-1 with a typical assay of ≥99%. Formula C2H4O2S, molecular weight 92.12 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2-sulfanylacetic acid. It is also known as Mercaptoacetic acid or thioglycolic acid.

The material typically appears as a colourless to yellow liquid. Literature values give a boiling point of 96 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for organic synthesis, reaction development, medicinal chemistry and indicator for titrations. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research.

We offer Thioglycollic acid in 1 L, 25 kg and 240 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
