Product & engineering
Understand the product.
P-Toluenesulfonic Acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4SO3H. It is a white solid that is soluble in water, alcohols, and other polar organic solvents.
As with other sulfonic acids, P-Toluenesulfonic acid is a strong organic acid. It is about one million times stronger than benzoic acid. It is one of the few strong acids that is solid and, hence, conveniently weighed. Also, unlike some strong mineral acids (especially nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid), P-Toluenesulfonic acid is non-oxidizing
