Toluene ACS

Toluene ACS is a clear, colorless liquid. It is an organic liquid with a pungent odor. Toluene's chemical formula is C6H5CH3. Toluene is also known as toluol, methylbenzene and phenylmethane. It contains a benzene ring linked to one methyl group in its structure. Toluene ACS is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol, benzene and ether. Toluene is found naturally in crude oil, and is used in oil refining and the manufacturing industries. ACS grade Toluene contains high purity and quality that is widely used in many industrial and manufacturing applications.

ChemieR provides an extensive selection of high-purity salts, acids, base and high purity solvents, including alkali metals, alkaline earth compounds, perchlorates, heavy metals, rare earths, transition metals, silver and precious metals, and triflates. ChemieR specialize in inorganic chemicals, offering materials with low moisture content and minimal trace metals. ChemieR stands out with a diverse range of laboratory chemicals, from organic and inorganic reagents to solvents.

Application :

• Toluene ACS is widely used as a precursor for synthesizing benzene and as a solvent in the paint industry.
• It forms a syndiotactic polystyrene-toluene molecular compound.
• It is employed as an solvent for the asymmetric synthesis of propargylic alcohols via addition reaction of terminal alkynes with various aldehydes in the presence of an optically active reagent, N-methylephedrine.
• It may be used in the preparation of amine-capped gold nanocrystals.
• It undergoes alkylation in the presence of modified ZSM (Zeolite Socony Mobil)-5-class zeolite catalysts to form p-xylene with high selectivity.

Benefits :

• High quality and purity product which met the toughest standard of the American Chemical Society (ACS)
• Due to the presence of the methyl group, toluene is more reactive compared to benzene alone in the presence of electrophiles. 
• As an Ingredient in paint-thinners, adhesives
• As fuel additive
