p-Tolyl acetate (CAS 140-39-6)
QUICK LINKS
p-Tolyl acetate is a chemical compound that functions as an esterification agent in organic synthesis. It acts as an acetylating reagent, facilitating the formation of esters through the reaction with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst. The mechanism of action involves the nucleophilic attack of the alcohol on the carbonyl carbon of the p-Tolyl acetate, leading to the formation of an intermediate that subsequently undergoes protonation and elimination to yield the desired ester product. P-Tolyl Acetate plays a role in the modification of organic molecules, enabling the introduction of acetyl groups into various compounds for the purpose of structural and functional diversification. Its mechanism of action involves the acetylation of hydroxyl groups, enabling the synthesis of a wide range of ester derivatives with potential applications in chemical.
