Potassium thioacetate is a common organic sulfur reagent used as an efficient thiolation agent in organic synthesis. It is widely applied for introducing sulfhydryl groups in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticide intermediates and fine chemicals. It can be used for preparation of thioether, thiophenol and sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. Also used in biochemical research, metal chelation raw materials and laboratory organic synthetic raw materials.
