text:
2-Aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (ACTA) is the organosulfur compound and a heterocycle with the formula HO2CCHCH2SCNH2N. 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. It is also a biomarker for cyanide poisoning, as it results from the condensation of cysteine and cyanide.
