I am conducting research that involves the preparation of calcium thioglycolate, which is commonly used in depilatory formulations and other pharmaceutical/cosmetic applications.

My primary requirement is to obtain authentic and reliable references (peer-reviewed articles, textbooks, pharmacopeia standards, or patents) that detail:

1. Reaction conditions – including optimal temperature, pH, solvent, and reaction time for synthesizing calcium thioglycolate.

2. Stoichiometric considerations – precise molar ratios of thioglycolic acid and calcium source (e.g., calcium hydroxide).

3. Purification and stability – steps to ensure product quality and prevent oxidation or degradation.

4. Safety and handling guidelines – since thioglycolic acid is reactive and potentially hazardous.

I would greatly appreciate direct citations or links to published resources that can be referenced in my research report or thesis.

My goal is to develop a reproducible synthesis protocol based on verified literature rather than trial-and-error experiments.
