Formula Weight:190.22
Specification:100g
Description:
p-Toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4SO3H. TsOH, as it is abbreviated, is a white solid that is soluble in water, alcohols, and other polar organic solvents. Most often, TsOH refers to the monohydrate, TsOH.H2O.
TsOH is a strong organic acid, about a million times stronger than benzoic acid. It is one of the few strong acids that are solid and, hence, conveniently weighed. Also, unlike some of the strong mineral acids (especially nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid), TsOH is non-oxidizing.
