Product Information

• Name: Methyl 2-toluate
• Synonyms: Methyl 2-methylbenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 2-toluate is a chemical compound that contains a disulfide bond. It is used as a catalyst in the preparation of various organic compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and liquid fuels. Methyl 2-toluate has been shown to be useful for the production of benzoate from cyclohexane and benzoyl chloride. This reaction requires constant pressure at an elevated temperature. The size of the particle is determined by measuring its diameter and the catalyst's surface area. Activation energies are needed for this reaction because it is an organometallic process that occurs at room temperature. Methyl 2-toluate can also act as a ligand in some coordination complexes with metals such as copper and nickel, although it does not react with water vapor or carbon dioxide gas.
