Usage

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

Uses

3MPA can be used as a ligand which can functionalize the quantum dots for the development of high luminescence light emitting diodes. It can also be used as a crosslinking monomeric unit for the preparation of thiol-acrylate based photopolymers.

General Description

Butyl 3-mercaptopropionate (3MPA) is a monofunctional thiol that can be used as a cross-linker and chain transferring agent for controlling the molecular weight of the polymer. It can be used in the thiolene photopolymerization.

Method and device for continuously producing thiopropionate series compounds through pipeline type

The invention discloses a method and a device for continuously producing thiopropionate series compounds through pipeline type, and can simultaneously or separately prepare thiodipropionate compounds. Dithionate type compounds and mercapto ester compounds. The method is simple to operate, low in cost and high in yield, and is suitable for industrial production.

An improved and green preparation of 3-(alkylthio)propionic acids

An efficient, facile microwave-assisted synthesis has been developed for the preparation of unsymmetrical sulfide derivatives from 3-mercaptopropionic acid and a wide variety of alkyl, allyl or aryl chlorides or bromides. The synthesis performed in ethanol at 80 or 120 °C using sodium hydroxide as a base, selectively without an offensive smell, generates 3-(alkylthio)propionic acids in good yields. Effects of reaction components, temperature, and the heating technique on the formation of the product and side-products were studied.
