Definition
ChEBI: A thioacetic acid that is acetic acid in which the oxygen atom of the hydroxy group has been replaced by a sulfur atom.
General Description
A clear,yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. May be toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Irritating to skin and eyes. Flash point near 50°F. Used to make other chemicals.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Thioacetic acid is a thio organic acid. Organosulfides are incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. Many of these compounds may liberate hydrogen sulfide upon decomposition or reaction with an acid.
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion and inhalation; strong
irritant to eyes and skin.
Health Hazard
May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
Flammability and Explosibility
Highlyflammable
Safety Profile
Poison by
intraperitoneal route. A very dangerous fire
hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic fumes of SOx. See also SULFIDES
and MERCAPTANS.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 507-09-5 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,0 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 507-09:
(5*5)+(4*0)+(3*7)+(2*0)+(1*9)=55
55 % 10 = 5
So 507-09-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

STUDIES ON THE REACTIONS OF SELENITE ION WITH 1,2-DIMERCAPTOETHANE OR THIOACETIC ACID
Czauderna, Marian,Samochocka, Krystyna
, p. 2421 - 2423 (1982)
The reactions are reported between selenite and 1,2-dimercaptoethane (DME) or thioacetic acid (TAA) to form moderately stable derivatives having an enhanced absorptions in the 230-360 nm region in combining molar ratios 3:2 and 4:1, respectively.Both reactions invariably yield one product corresponding to the selenium-containing derivative of DME or TAA.The formation of products is a pH dependent process.The equilibrium constants of reactions between selenite and DME or TAA were measured.
Photolysis of methyl-parathion thin films: Products, kinetics and quantum yields under different atmospheric conditions
Segal-Rosenheimer, Michal,Dubowski, Yael
scheme or table, p. 193 - 202 (2010/10/01)
The present study focuses on the photodegradation of methyl-parathion thin films, an organophosphate insecticide, under different atmospheric conditions. The latter include nitrogenated, oxygenated and ozonated atmospheres, under low and high relative humidity conditions. Addition of oxygen to the atmospheric mixture did not seem to affect the reaction rates and quantum yields. Relative humidity affect was minor, with a small enhancement in reaction rate under 254. nm radiation. The addition of ozone (to either dry or humid atmosphere), at all concentrations tested, largely enhanced degradation rates. In the absence of ozone, the obtained quantum yields for photolysis of methyl-parathion thin films under 254 and 313. nm were 0.024 ± 0.007 and 0.012 ± 0.005, respectively. These values are higher than the values previously reported for solutions of methanol and water. Although the presence of molecular oxygen and water vapors did not seem to affect much the reaction rates, it did have a certain effect on the resulted products. More polar products were obtained under oxygenated and ozonated atmospheres, as well as dimers under ozone conditions. The reaction on thin films has yielded more toxic products than usually found in solutions, adding alkylphosphate esters in addition to the oxons formed normally.
Generation of thiols by biotransformation of cysteine-aldehyde conjugates with baker's yeast
Huynh-Ba, Tuong,Matthey-Doret, Walter,Fay, Laurent B.,Rhlid, Rachid Bel
, p. 3629 - 3635 (2007/10/03)
Baker's yeast was shown to catalyze the transformation of cysteine-furfural conjugate into 2-furfurylthiol. The biotransformation's yield and kinetics were influenced by the reaction parameters such as pH, incubation mode (aerobic and anaerobic), and substrate concentration. 2-Furfurylthiol was obtained in an optimal 37% yield when cysteine-furfural conjugate at a 20 mM concentration was anaerobically incubated with whole cell baker's yeast at pH 8.0 and 30 °C. Similarly to 2-furfurylthiol, 5-methyl-2-furfurylthiol (11%), benzylthiol (8%), 2-thiophenemethanethiol (22%), 3-methyl-2-thiophenemethanethiol (3%), and 2-pyrrolemethanethiol (6%) were obtained from the corresponding cysteine-aldehyde conjugates by incubation with baker's yeast. This work indicates the versatile bioconversion capacity of baker's yeast for the generation of thiols from cysteine-aldehyde conjugates. Thanks to its food-grade character, baker's yeast provides a biochemical tool to produce thiols, which can be used as flavorings in foods and beverages.
