4-Methoxybenzyl mercaptan is used to synthesize many ω-mercapto amino acids with side-chain lengths ranging from 3-5 methylene units. It is used as an internal standard in the Quantitative determination of wine polyfunctional mercaptans at the level of nanogram per liter.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
