Dimethyl terephthalate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Dimethyl 4-phthalate, this is the diester formed from terephthalic acid and methanol. The reagent is available as a white powder which is slightly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 142 C, and a boiling point of 288 C. Dimethyl terephthalate can be produced by the esterification of terephthalic acid. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 120-61-6 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C10H10O4 Molecular weight: 194.18 Assay: 99 %Dimethyl terephthalate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Dimethyl terephthalate is utilized in the production of polyesters, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). It is additionally used to produce the diol, cyclohexanedimethanol, which is a useful monomer. This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
