p-Toluenesulfonic Acid Monohydrate

PTSA monohydrate, Tosic acid, 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid monohydrate · CAS 6192-52-5

Intermediates Technical / pharmaceutical intermediate CoA per batchSDSAssay by titrationSulphate statement

PTSA monohydrate is a workhorse acid catalyst, and the two failure modes in the plant are water content drift and sulphate carry-over. Both are on our CoA, and the material ships in a PE-lined drum that survives humid sea freight without caking.

Anhydrous PTSA (CAS 104-15-4) is available as a separate grade for routes that cannot tolerate the water of crystallisation.
