It is the organosulfur compound with the formula HO2CCH(SH)CH(SH)CO2H. This colorless solid contains two carboxylic<unk>  and two thiol groups, the latter being responsible for its mildly unpleasant odour. It occurs in two diastereomers, meso and the chiral dl forms. The 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic<unk>  molecule has two stereocentres (two asymmetric carbon atoms), and can exist as three different stereoisomers. The 2S,3S and 2R,3R isomers are a pair of enantiomers, whereas the 2R,3S isomer is a meso compound and thus optically inactive. 150px 150px 150px 150px 150px 150px (2R,3R)-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic<unk>  (2R,3S)-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic<unk> (meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic<unk>  (2S,3S)-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic<unk>
