PTSC
PTSC stands for para-toluene sulfonylchloride also named tosylchloride or abbreviated TsCl.
Product features
Designed to meet the needs of demanding industries and environments
Pharmaceutical Synthesis
PTSC is an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis.
Many pharmaceuticals are prepared with PTSC as activating agent as for example:
• Flupentixol (psychiatric drug)
• Thiometon (pesticide)
• Deltamethrine (pesticide)
• Diboc (protecting agent)
• Cefotaxime (antibiotic)
• MDMA (psychiatric drug)
Fine Chemicals
PTSC serves as an intermediate in various chemical synthesis. Among others it is an activation agent in the synthesis of organic compounds. One major application of PTSC is the tosylation of alcohols in order to activate the group for conversion at a later step in the synthesis. Through the use of PTSC an alcohol can be converted into an excellent leaving group, and ideal for delicate molecules used in the production of fragrances.
Laboratory Reagents
Widely used in research for protecting groups and activating agents in organic chemistry.
