Application

3-(Methylthio)-1-propanol can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • Calix[4]arenes as amino acid chemosensors.[1]
  • Amphiphilic reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitive diblock copolymers, applicable as nanocarriers for photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.[2]
  • 3-(Methylsulfonyl)propyl thioacetate, which is used in the preparation of dipolar glass polymers for electronic and power applications.[3]
