yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 286 °C

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Alpha-Lipoic acid decomposes at T > 286 °C
Executive summary:

The boiling temperature from a-Lipoic acid is measured by Differential-Scanning-Calorimetry. The test is according to EG 440/2008 A.2. The exakt boiling point at normal pressure for this substance is not avalible, it decomposes at temeratures T > 286 °C.
