Carbonic acid, bis(2-methylphenyl) ester

Description:
Carbonic acid, bis(2-methylphenyl) ester, also known as bis(2-methylphenyl) carbonate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups derived from carbonic acid. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic groups. It is primarily used in the synthesis of polycarbonate plastics and as a reagent in organic chemistry. The presence of two 2-methylphenyl groups enhances its stability and alters its reactivity compared to simpler carbonates. Carbonic acid, bis(2-methylphenyl) ester is also known for its relatively low toxicity, making it suitable for various industrial applications. However, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
