2-(Benzothiazolylthio)acetic acid is an important sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and rubber vulcanization accelerator. This compound features a melting point of 159°C and boiling point of 423.4±47.0°C (predicted). With a density of 1.51 g/cm³ and refractive index of 1.5364 (estimate), it demonstrates low water solubility but good solubility in organic solvents. The material should be stored sealed in dry conditions at room temperature. Safety precautions include wearing protective equipment due to potential eye/skin irritation (GHS Category 2). Its unique structure containing both benzothiazole and thioacetic acid moieties makes it valuable for synthesizing various bioactive molecules.
