3-Methylphthalic anhydride

Description:

3-Methylphthalic anhydride, with the CAS number 4792-30-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phthalic anhydrides. It is characterized by its anhydride functional group, which is derived from phthalic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is known for its reactivity, particularly in the formation of polyesters and resins. It has a relatively high melting point and is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethyl acetate, but is insoluble in water. 3-Methylphthalic anhydride is used in various industrial applications, including the production of plasticizers, coatings, and adhesives. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
