Detailed Product Description:

Thioacetamide is an organosulfur compound.  This white crystalline solid is

soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and benzene, and serves as a source of

hydrogen sulfide in the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds.

Grade/Purity:

This is Reagent grade, with a minimum purity of 98%.

Applications:

Thioacetamide has only one significant use currently as a replacement for

hydrogen sulfide in qualitative analyses. Thioacetamide has been used

historically as an organic solvent in the leather, textile, and paper industries,

as an accelerator in the vulcanization of buna rubber, and as a stabilizer

of motor fuel.  However, there is no evidence that it is currently used for

any of these purposes.

Thioacetamide was widely used in classical qualitative inorganic analysis

as an in situ source for sulfide ions.  Thus, treatment of aqueous solutions

of many metal cations to a solution of thioacetamide affords the corresponding

metal sulfide.

Precautions:

Toxic by ingestion and inhalation.  It is a class 2B carcinogen.

May cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.  Combustible.
