Toluenesulfonic acid, also known as tosylic acid, is a nonoxidizing organic acid that’s soluble in water, alcohols, ethers, and other polar solvents.
Tosylic Acid is used for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, fine chemicals, pesticides, resins, hardeners, paints and coatings as well as catalyst for electro conductive polymers.
Tosylic Acid is an arenesulfonic acid that is benzenesulfonic acid in which the hydrogen at position 4 is replaced by a methyl group. It is a member of toluenes and an arenesulfonic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a toluene-4-sulfonate.
