Atomfair Butyl-p-toluenesulfonate Butyl tosylate C11H16O3S CAS 778-28-9

Description

Butyl-p-toluenesulfonate (CAS 778-28-9), also known as butyl tosylate, is a high-purity organic sulfonate ester with the molecular formula C₁₁H₁₆O₃S. This compound is widely utilized as an alkylating agent and intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and specialty chemical production. Its IUPAC name, butyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, reflects its structural composition of a butyl ester group attached to a p-toluenesulfonyl moiety. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure optimal purity (>98%) and consistency, making it ideal for demanding research and industrial applications. Supplied in amber glass bottles under inert atmosphere to prevent degradation, this reagent is a valuable tool for nucleophilic substitution reactions and catalyst systems.
