This derivative of thiazoline is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of L-cysteine, an amino acid. ACTA exists in equilibrium with its tautomer 2-iminothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. It is produced by the reaction of methyl chloroacrylate with thiourea.Karlheinz Drauz Ian Grayson Axel Kleemann Hans-Peter Krimmer Wolfgang Leuchtenberger, Christoph Weckbecker 2006 10.1002/14356007.a02_057.pub2 It is also a biomarker for cyanide poisoning, as it results from the condensation of cysteine and cyanide.Determination of the cyanide metabolite 2-aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid in urine and plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry Logue, Brian A.
