3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is an organosulfur compound with the formula HSCH 2 CH 2 CO 2 H. It is a bifunctional molecule, containing both carboxylic acid and thiol groups. It is a colorless oil.
Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) is a common thiol monomer reacted with alkenes in the thiol-ene reaction to form polymeric networks. [3] Being functionalized with four thiol groups, it can react with multifunctional alkenes to form thiol-ene networks.
Acrylates (IUPAC: prop-2-enoates) are the salts, esters, and conjugate bases of acrylic acid. The acrylate ion is the anion CH 2 =CHCO − 2. Often, acrylate refers to esters of acrylic acid, the most common member being methyl acrylate. These acrylates contain vinyl groups.
[3] [4] The molecule's acrylate group functionality enables the molecule to do the Michael reaction with amines. It is therefore sometimes used in epoxy chemistry enabling a large reduction in cure time. [5] As the molecule has 4 functional acrylate groups it confers high cross-link density.
Pentaerythritol was first reported in 1891 by German chemist Bernhard Tollens and his student P. Wigand. [5] It may be prepared via a base-catalyzed multiple-addition reaction between acetaldehyde and 3 equivalents of formaldehyde to give pentaerythrose (CAS: 3818-32-4), followed by a Cannizzaro reaction with a fourth equivalent of formaldehyde to give the final product plus formate ion.
3-Mercaptopropionitrile is the organosulfur compound with the formula HSCH 2 CH 2 CN. [1] Containing both thiol and nitrile functional groups , it is a bifunctional compound . A colorless liquid, the compound has found some use as a masked form of thiolate.
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
The suffix-oate is the IUPAC nomenclature used in organic chemistry to form names of compounds formed with ester. They are of two types: They are of two types: Formed by replacing the hydrogen atom in the –COOH by some other radical , usually an alkyl or aryl radical forming an ester .
