Preparation and uses
Thiosalicylic acid can be prepared from anthranilic acid via diazotization followed by the addition of sodium sulfide and then reduction with zinc.[4]
Thiosalicylic acid is a precursor to the dyestuff thioindigo. Thiosalicylic acid is also used to make the vaccine preservative thiomersal.
Other aspects
It is a precursor to drug candidates for treatment of atherosclerosis and melanoma.[5][6]
