Ethyl 4-toluate

CAS: 94-08-6

Ethyl 4-toluate is a secondary alcohol that is a colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. It is used as an oxidation catalyst and has been shown to be effective in the synthesis of ethyl benzoate from ethyl methyl ketone. The molecule is acidic, with a pKa of 8.0, and can be used as an inorganic acid. Ethyl 4-toluate has high salt tolerance, with a maximum concentration of 1 M NaCl before the rate of reaction decreases significantly. Ethyl 4-toluate also forms hydrogen bonds with chloride ions and reacts with ethyl esters through substitution at the alpha position.
