Application: | Thiosalicylic acid can be used as: • A nucleophilic trapping agent for the desulfenylation of 3-indolyl sulfides to obtain 3-unsubstituted indoles. • A starting material to prepare 2′-mercaptoacetophenone, which is used in the synthesis of thioflavanone by reacting with lithium diisopropylamide and benzaldehyde. • A stabilizing agent in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. It can also be used to prepare 2-thioxanthone-thioacetic acid bimolecular system, which is used as a photoinitiator for free radical polymerization. |
