Overview of Para-Toluenesulphonic Acid Monohydrate

Para-Toluenesulphonic Acid Monohydrate (C₇H₈O₃S·H₂O), commonly known as p-TSA Monohydrate, is a strong organic acid widely used as a catalyst and reagent in various chemical processes. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water, alcohols, and most organic solvents. Its strong acidity and stability make it a preferred choice over mineral acids in organic synthesis.

p-TSA Monohydrate plays a key role in esterification, polymerization, hydrolysis, and dehydration reactions. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, resin, plastic, and fragrance industries for its ability to accelerate reactions without introducing impurities.
