Toluene ACS is a clear, colorless liquid. It is an organic liquid with a pungent odor. Toluene's chemical formula is C6H5CH3. Toluene is also known as toluol, methylbenzene and phenylmethane. It contains a benzene ring linked to one methyl group in its structure. Toluene ACS is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol, benzene and ether. Toluene is found naturally in crude oil, and is used in oil refining and the manufacturing industries. ACS grade Toluene contains high purity and quality that is widely used in many industrial and manufacturing applications.

Application :
- Toluene ACS is widely used as a precursor for synthesizing benzene and as a solvent in the paint industry.
- It forms a syndiotactic polystyrene-toluene molecular compound.
- It is employed as an solvent for the asymmetric synthesis of propargylic alcohols via addition reaction of terminal alkynes with various aldehydes in the presence of an optically active reagent, N-methylephedrine.
- It may be used in the preparation of amine-capped gold nanocrystals.
- It undergoes alkylation in the presence of modified ZSM (Zeolite Socony Mobil)-5-class zeolite catalysts to form p-xylene with high selectivity.
Key features :
- High quality and purity product which met the toughest standard of the American Chemical Society (ACS)
- Due to the presence of the methyl group, toluene is more reactive compared to benzene alone in the presence of electrophiles.
- As an Ingredient in paint-thinners, adhesives
- As fuel additive
