p-Cresol by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 4-methylphenol, this is a derivative of phenol. The reagent is available as a crystalline powder which is poorly soluble in water. The reagent has a melting point of 35.5 C, and a boiling point of 201.8 C. p-Cresol can be obtained from coal tar. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 106-44-5 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: CH3C6H4OH Molecular weight: 108.14 Assay: 98 % p-Cresol has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. p-Cresol is broadly used in the production of antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). It is additionally a starting material in the synthesis of bupranolol which is a non-selective beta blocker. p-Cresol is additionally utilized as an adhesive and a sealant in chemicals, dyes, intermediates, odour agents, plasticizers, plating agents and surface treating agents. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
