Product Description
p-tert-Butyl Benzoic Acid 99% is a synthesis-grade reagent widely used in organic synthesis, polymer stabilizers, and as an intermediate in perfumery compounds. This white crystalline powder is odorless, tasteless, and stable under normal conditions. With a melting point of 164-166C and a density of 1.01 g/cm, it is effective in laboratory applications and chemical manufacturing. Soluble in ethanol and organic solvents but slightly soluble in water, the product is ideal for precision applications requiring high purity (99%). Its acidic pH (approximately 3.5-4 in solution) ensures compatibility in various formulations. p-tert-Butyl Benzoic Acid possesses a molecular formula of C11H14O2 and a molecular weight of 178.23 g/mol, crucial for achieving synthesis accuracy. To maintain its shelf life of up to 2 years, it must be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers away from heat and light.
