BDTH2 (also called BDET and BDETH2; trade names B9, MetX, and OSR#1) is an organosulfur compound that is used as a chelation agent. It is a colourless solid. The molecule consists of two thiol groups and linked via a pair of amide groups.
== Preparation == The compound was reported in about 1994 after a search for chelating agents selective for mercury. It was licensed in 2006 to CTI Science with the long-term goal of using BDTH2 to treat mercury poisoning. This compound is prepared by treating isophthaloyl dichloride with two equiv of cysteamine: frameless|upright=2|Isophthaloyl dichloride + 2×cysteamine → BDTH2
