Phenylacetic Acid
α-Toluic acid, benzeneacetic acid · CAS 103-82-2
Phenylacetic acid is a bulk intermediate for penicillin G and a starting point for a number of synthetic routes. Buyers care about two numbers: GC purity and the residual benzyl chloride level, the latter being the usual carry-over from the route.
We supply flake or prilled form depending on how your reactor charges material. For customers running continuous processes we can hold a fixed supplier lot for the duration of a campaign to avoid lot-to-lot variation in your yield model.
