Potassium Thioacetate (CAS: 10387-40-3) is the potassium salt of Thioacetic Acid, a commonly used reagent in organic synthesis for the introduction of thiol groups in molecules, used as organic chemical raw materials. Potassium Thioacetate is used for palladium mediated coupling with aryl halides and triflates leading to S-arylthioacetates and derivatives. It is also used as a reagent in the conversion of halides to thiols. Potassium Thioacetate is an organosulfur compound and a salt with the formula CH3COS−K+. This white, water-soluble solid is used as a reagent for preparing thioacetate esters and other derivatives. It acts as a sulfur source in the synthesis of sulfur-containing organic compounds for the synthesis of heterocycles, polymers, transition-metal ligands, nanoparticles, bioactive compounds and macromolecular inclusion complexes.
