Monomethyl terephthalate

Description:

Monomethyl terephthalate (MMT) is an aromatic ester derived from terephthalic acid and methanol, characterized by its chemical formula C10H10O4. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. MMT is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of polyesters, particularly in the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other polymeric materials. Its properties include a relatively high melting point and stability under normal conditions, making it suitable for various industrial applications. MMT can undergo hydrolysis, transesterification, and polymerization reactions, which are essential in the synthesis of more complex compounds. Additionally, it is important to handle MMT with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, necessitating appropriate safety measures during its use and storage. Overall, MMT plays a significant role in the chemical industry, particularly in the production of fibers, films, and containers.

mono-Methyl terephthalate

CAS: 1679-64-7

Mono-methyl terephthalate (MMT) is a monomer used in the manufacturing of polyester and other types of plastic. It is produced from terephthalic acid, which is derived from crude oil or natural gas. The oxidation catalyst used in this process is usually manganese dioxide. MMT has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication. This active form is metabolized through a number of metabolic transformations, including hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases, oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, reduction by glutathione reductase, or conjugation with glucuronic acid. MMT also specifically binds to markers expressed at high levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains (e.g., ESX-1 secretion system protein) and inhibits cell growth in culture.
