2-(1,3-Benzothiazol-2-ylthio)succinic acid is a specialized benzothiazole derivative widely used as a corrosion inhibitor (commercial name: Irgacor 252) and pharmaceutical intermediate. This compound features a unique molecular structure combining benzothiazole and succinic acid moieties, enabling dual functionality in metal surface protection and organic synthesis. It exhibits a predicted boiling point of 456.6±55.0°C and density of 1.6 g/cm³. The material should be stored in airtight containers at room temperature, protected from moisture and strong oxidizers. Industrial applications include cooling water systems and metalworking fluids where it demonstrates excellent copper corrosion inhibition properties at low concentrations (5-50 ppm).
