1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, 1,3-dimethyl ester

Description:
1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, 1,3-dimethyl ester, commonly known as dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of two ester functional groups. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. DMT is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of polyesters, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is widely used in the manufacture of plastic bottles and fibers. The compound exhibits moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure. Additionally, it has a relatively high melting point and boiling point, indicating its stability under various conditions. DMT is also utilized in the synthesis of various chemical derivatives and has applications in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant odor. Overall, its chemical properties and versatility make it an important compound in industrial chemistry.
