Product Information

• Name: o-Toluic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: o-Toluic acid is a chemical compound that can be used in analytical chemistry and coordination geometry. It has been shown to have anti-microbial activity and can be used to synthesize o-toluidine, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. o-Toluic acid reacts with copper chloride and hydrochloric acid to form copper chloride, malonic acid, and hydrogen chloride. The addition of sodium carbonate leads to the formation of hydrogen carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and water. This reaction mechanism is evidence for coordination geometry as the mechanism for this reaction.
