Chemical Properties
clear yellow to amber liquid
Uses
2-Aminothiophenol was used in the synthesis of 1,5-benzothiazepines derivatives by reacting with 1,3-diphenylpropenone derivatives and using aluminosilicate solid catalysts. It was also used in the synthesis of benzothiazole2 and 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)coumarin derivatives. The ternary complexes of copper (II) with salicylidene-2-aminothiophenol (L) and glycine, alanine, valine and histidene amino acids.
Uses
A multifunctional compound which shows antioxidant activity in a skin cell model of UVA-induced stress.
Uses
2-Aminothiophenol was used in one-pot synthesis of stable phosphonium ylides. It was also used in the synthesis of 2-[(2-benzothiazolylmethyl)thio]-benzenamine. It was used to functionalize silver nano particles for biological pH sensing based on surface enhanced Raman scattering.
