Thioacetic acid is an organosulfur compound with the molecular formulaCH3C(O)SH. It is a thioic acid: the sulfur analogue of acetic acid (CH3C(O)OH), as implied by the thio- prefix. It is a yellow liquid with a strong thiol-like odor. It is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of thiol groups (−SH) in molecules.
