Application

Thioacetic acid (TAA) can undergo:
  • Enantioselective addition to nitroalkenes to form chiral 1,2-aminothiol derivatives in the presence of a novel sulfinyl urea organocatalyst. This method has been successfully employed in the synthesis of antifungal drug, sulconazole.
  • Asymmetric Michael addition reaction with chalcones in the presence of a bifunctional amine thiourea catalyst to form synthetically useful thioesters.
  • Asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition with para-quinone methides in the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst to form chiral sulfur-containing diphenylmethane-type compounds.
  • Conjugate addition to methacrylamides with chiral trans-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidine auxiliaries to form chiral β-mercaptocarboxylic acid derivatives.

Thioacetic acid is a reagent for introduction of the thiol group into organic molecules.

Two thioacetate tails were introduced to the chlamydocin- and CHAP31-related cyclic tetrapeptides. An intramolecular disulfide bridge could be formed in the CHAP31-related cyclic peptides. Both the thioacetate-tailed and disulfide-bridged peptides were potent histone deacetylase inhibitors in the presence of sulfhydryl

Sir2 protein deacetylases (or sirtuins) catalyze NAD+-dependent conversion of epsilon-amino-acetylated lysine residues to deacetylated lysine, nicotinamide, and 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose. Small-molecule modulation of sirtuin activity might treat age-associated diseases, such as type II diabetes, obesity, and neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we have evaluated
