Parchem is a Global Leader in p-Toluenesulfonic Acid (PTSA)

Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is a leading supplier of p-toluenesulfonic acid in the United States and global markets. P-toluenesulfonic acid is a toxic organic intermediate that is soluble in water, alcohols, and other organic solvents. P-toluenesulfonic acid is also called 4-Methylbenzenesulfonic acid, Tosylic acid, Tosic Acid, and PTSA for short.  Parchem is able to supply p-toluenesulfonic acid in a powder form (CAS: 6192-52-5), but it also can be added to water or alcohols to form a solution (CAS: 104-15-4) in any concentration. P-Toluenesulfonic acid is considered a strong organic acid; it is about one million times stronger than many common acids such as benzoic acid. Interestingly, p-toluenesulfonic acid is one of the few acids at this strength that comes naturally in a solid powder form. P-toluenesulfonic acid is also one of the few strong organic acids that are non-oxidizing.

Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals supplies p-toluenesulfonic acid that is commercially produced from the sulfonation of toluene and is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis applications, industrial coatings applications, plastics and polymers. For pharmaceuticals, p-Toluenesulfonic acid is used in synthesis applications such as ester transesterification, carboxylic acid esterification, and aldehyde acetalization. Further uses of p-toluenesuflonic acid include using it as a descaling agent in industrial metal cleaning applications, as an electroplating bath additive, and as a neutralizing agent in acrylonitrile production.
