Product Introduction:
2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate is an important organic compound with a chemical formula of C₁₀H₂₀O₂S and a molecular weight of 204.33. It is a colorless, transparent, oily liquid at room temperature with a special smell. It is insoluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its relative density is 0.972 g/mL (20°C), boiling point is 255-260°C, flash point is 136°C, and refractive index is 1.461 (20°C).
The chemical properties of 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate are relatively active. It contains a thiol (-SH) unit, so it exhibits a certain degree of reducing property, can be oxidized to disulfide by oxidants, and can be further oxidized to sulfonic acid by strong oxidants. Under alkaline conditions, its thiol unit is easily converted into thiol anions, which have strong nucleophilicity and can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with electrophilic reagents such as alkyl halides and acyl halides to generate thioether or thioester compounds. In addition, it can also react with heavy metals to generate water-insoluble heavy metal salts.
2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate has a wide range of industrial applications. In the plastics industry, it is mainly used as a stabilizer and plasticizer for halogenated polyolefins such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can delay the decomposition and degradation process of the material and improve the stability and service life of the material. In addition, it can also be used as a crosslinker, additive or functional monomer for polymer materials. By introducing this product, the physical and chemical properties of polymer materials can be changed, such as increasing flexibility, heat resistance and weather resistance.
In the field of organic synthesis, it is an important intermediate that can be used to synthesize drugs, pesticides, dyes and surfactants. It can also be used as the main raw material for the preparation of compounds such as tin thiolate and antimony thiolate, which are important in the chemical industry.
Its synthesis usually uses chloroacetic acid and isooctyl alcohol to react in the presence of solvent toluene and catalyst sulfuric acid to generate isooctyl chloroacetate, then add sodium thiosulfate after neutralization, react in ethanol solvent to generate sodium thiosulfate isooctyl acetate, and finally hydrochloric acid is used for acid hydrolysis to generate 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate.
During storage and transportation, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate needs to be strictly protected from moisture and sunlight, and must not be in direct contact with alkaline substances, oxidants, sensitive metals, etc., nor mixed with food, seeds, beverages, etc., and avoid contact with skin and eyes, and prevent inhalation through the mouth and nose. Its shelf life is generally 6 months.

2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate is widely utilized within the plastics industry as a stabilizer and plasticizer for halogenated polyolefins such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Such materials tend to decompose during processing and usage, thus improving stability and service life of these materials.
2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate can also be used as a crosslinker, additive, or functional monomer during polymer materials production. By adding 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate into polymers materials production processes, its physical and chemical properties may be altered for example increasing flexibility, heat resistance, or weather resistance.
2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate is an invaluable intermediate in organic synthesis. Due to its excellent reactivity, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate plays a central role in many chemical reactions such as transesterification, esterification and ester hydrolysis that lead to the creation of drugs, pesticides, dyes and surfactants; such reactions provide pharmaceutical and chemical production with crucial support in developing new medications.
2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate is widely utilized within the pharmaceutical field to synthesize anti-tumor drugs and cardiovascular medications, among others. As an anti-tumor intermediate it plays a critical role in their production. Recently, with an increase in global cancer cases and rising demand for related medications, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate usage has also steadily grown within pharmaceutical sector. Additionally, pesticides use polymers to make highly efficient and low-toxicity insecticides and herbicides, meeting an ever increasing global awareness of environmental protection as well as demand for green pesticides – thus maintaining steady market growth.
2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate has quickly garnered much interest as an environmental protection solution, thanks to increasing global environmental requirements and its reduced toxic and high efficiency levels. 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate can replace traditionally hazardous and pollutant chemicals in some industrial production processes and thus reduce pollution while simultaneously improving biodegradability and safety – giving this agent significant application prospects in this sector of environmental protection.
As an important organic compound, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetateboasts significant chemical property advantages. Under alkaline conditions, its thiol unit can be converted to an anion with strong nucleophilicity; this anion can then undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with electrophilic reagents to create thioether or thioester derivatives, or undergo condensation reactions with carboxylic acid compounds to generate ester derivatives.
Application-wise, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetatecan offer many advantages. Plasticizers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) require special additives to stabilize and plasticize them for effective degradation prevention, increasing material stability and service life while delaying decomposition and degradation processes.
Plasticizers such as these play an integral part of this industry. As well as acting as a cross-linking agent or additive in polymer material production, it may also serve as a functional monomer in preparation. By adding this compound, polymer materials’ physical and chemical properties can be altered; for instance, increasing flexibility, heat resistance, weatherproofness etc. As an essential intermediate in organic synthesis, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetateserves an invaluable function: synthesizing various drugs, pesticides, dyes and surfactants that contribute to supporting various industries.
From an environmental protection viewpoint, 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetateoffers some significant advantages. Thanks to our ongoing optimization of production processes and strengthening of environmental protection measures, its production process has had minimal impacts on the environment. Manufacturers increasingly rely on advanced waste gas treatment technologies, including “primary alkali spraying + activated carbon adsorption”, to treat waste gas generated during their production processes and thus lower pollution of emissions into the environment. Meanwhile, increasing demand for 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetateas a low-toxicity and cost-efficient alternative demonstrates its value in environmental protection while contributing towards sustainable development of related industries.
Market analysis indicates 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetate’s good prospects of development. Due to the rapid expansion of polymeric material industries such as polyvinyl chloride, and rising demand for organic synthesis intermediates in medicine and pesticides, market demand for 2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptoacetatecontinues to expand.
