Slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
The odor of this material depends largely upon the chemical purity. Minute traces of poor grade thioglycolic acid may well impair the odor of the monoester, while very good grades are virtually odorless.
The material is mentioned mainly because it may appear as a component or as an impurity in cosmetic preparations and it is capable of altering the odor of a perfume incorporated in such functional products significantly. As such, the ester has little or no interest to perfumery.
