Usage

General Description

2-Mercaptoethyl acetate is a chemical compound with a molecular formula C4H8O2S. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is commonly used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages due to its fruity and grape-like aroma. It is also utilized in the production of perfumes and fragrances, as well as in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it has been identified as a potential component for the development of insect attractants and repellents. However, 2-Mercaptoethyl acetate is a highly flammable and hazardous substance that should be handled and stored with extreme caution.

Palladium(II) chloride catalyzed selective acetylation of alcohols with vinyl acetate

PdCl2 can catalyze the acetylation of primary and secondary alcohols with vinyl acetate. The reaction is selective and mild with high yields. Tertiary alcohols, phenols and amines are unaffected under these reaction conditions.

Phototransformation of carboxin in water. Toxicity of the pesticide and its sulfoxide to aquatic organisms

Sunlight exposure of aqueous suspensions of carboxin (1) causes its phototransformation to sulfoxide 2 and minor components. Similar effects are observed in the presence of humic acid or nitrate or at different pH values. Photoproducts 2-9 were isolated by Chromatographic techniques and/or identified by spectroscopic means. Carboxin 1 and its main photoproduct sulfoxide 2 were tested to evaluate acute toxicity to primary consumers typical of the aquatic environment: the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus and two crustaceans, Daphnia magna and Thamnocephalus platyurus. Chronic tests comprised a producer, the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, and a consumer, the crustacean Ceriodaphnia dubia.
