Preparation of 2-Mercaptoethanol: it is prepared by reaction of ethylene oxide and hydrogen sulfide with the molar ratio of 1:3.5. The reaction occurs with catalyst strong alkaline anionic exchange resin at the temperature of 40 °C.
Uses of 2-Mercaptoethanol: it is used to make some proteins be denatured via its ability to cleave disulfide bonds. Besides, it is used in some RNA isolation procedures to eliminate ribonuclease released during cell lysis.
When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it. As a chemical, it is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. What's more, it is toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. It is toxic to aquatic organisms that may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. It also may cause burns. During using it, wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray and do not empty into drains. It's necessary to avoid release to the environment. After using it, take off immediately all contaminated clothing. If contact with eyes accidently, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. In case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately.
