Toluene ACS

Toluene ACS Grade CAS: 108-88-3 | M.F: C6H5CH3 | M.W.: 92.14, Buy now for reliable and reproducible results from ChemieR High Purity Solvent.

Toluene ACS (CAS No. 108-88-3) is a clear and colorless organic liquid that has a distinct pungent smell. It is a benzene ring with the methyl group bonded to it, giving it a C6H5CH3 molecular formula. Synonyms of toluene include methylbenzene, phenylmethane and toluol. It is insoluble in water and is readily soluble in solvents like alcohol, benzene, and ether. Toluene is a naturally occurring substance that is used in the petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing sectors. Its good purity and constant quality result in the wide applicability of ACS Grade Toluene in research laboratories and industry.

Applications

• Used as a raw material in the manufacture of styrene and related products such as syndiotactic polystyrene.
• Involved in the formation of polystyrene–toluene complexes that are useful in various industrial processes.
• Serves as a solvent in paint thinner formulations and coating applications.
• Applied as a solvent medium for the asymmetric synthesis of propargylic alcohols using terminal alkynes and aldehydes with optically active reagents such as N-methylephedrine.
• Utilized in the preparation of amine-capped gold nanocrystals in nanotechnology research.
• Functions as a solvent for ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts in alkylation reactions for producing p-xylenes.

Key features

• High Purity and Quality: Meets strict ACS specifications for reliable laboratory and industrial performance.
• Enhanced Chemical Reactivity: The methyl group attached to the benzene ring increases electrophilic reactivity compared with benzene.
• Industrial Versatility: Commonly used as a solvent or thinner in coatings, adhesives, and paint formulations.
• Fuel Additive Utility: Often blended with fuels to enhance combustion efficiency.

General Overview

Toluene ACS (CAS No. 108-88-3) is a widely used aromatic hydrocarbon solvent in laboratory and industrial chemistry. The molecular formula of the compound is C6H5CH3 with a molecular weight of 92.14 and is commonly referred to as toluol, methylbenzene, and phenylmethane. Its molecular structure comprises a benzene ring bonded to a methyl group, thereby forming its increased electrophilic substitution reactivity relative to benzene. Toluene is soluble in a variety of organic solvents like alcohol, benzene, and ether, but insoluble in water. It is found in crude oil in its natural state and is commonly used in the petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing processes. ACS Grade Toluene provides good purity and reliable performance in scientific research, synthesis and use in industries.
