1. Precursor for synthesizing pharmaceutical intermediates, dyes, and corrosion inhibitors.
2. Building 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid block in organic synthesis (e.g., thiol-ene reactions, disulfide formation) and polymer modification.
3. Ligand in coordination chemistry and surface functionalization (e.g., gold nanoparticle synthesis).
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
1. Dual functional groups (thiol + carboxyl) enable versatile synthetic and surface reactions.
2. High 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid reactivity of thiol group supports targeted functionalization in materials and drug development.
3. Stable under proper storage, ensuring reliable performance in research/industrial applications.
1. Store sealed at 2–8°C in a dry, dark environment; protect from moisture, air, and strong oxidants.
2. Keep 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid separate from acids, bases, and heavy metals to prevent decomposition or disulfide bond formation.
3. Seal container immediately after use to maintain thiol group reactivity and purity.
