General description

Methyl thioglycolate reacts with nonprotein component of the antitumor antibiotic neocarzinostatin to form 1:1 adduct. It reacts with isothiocyanate to form Rhodanine.

Application

Methyl thioglycolate was used in the preparation of:
  • 3-carbomethoxy-4- oxotetrahydrothiopyran, 2- and 4-carbomethoxy-3-oxotetrahydrothiophene
  • methyl thioglycolate and aminoethanethiol conjugated gold nanorods.
Thiol Organocatalyst used in conjunction with visible light photocatalysis to affect the direct arylation of benzylic ether C-H bonds

A General Strategy for Organocatalytic Activation of C–H Bonds via Photoredox Catalysis: Direct Arylation of Benzylic Ethers

Product can be used with our line of photoreactors: Including Penn PhD (Z744035) & SynLED 2.0 (Z744080)
