Silver p-toluenesulfonate (Cat No.: M079238) is an organosilver salt composed of a silver cation and the p-toluenesulfonate anion, derived from para-toluenesulfonic acid. This white to off-white powder is used as a mild and selective reagent in organic synthesis, particularly for activating alcohols and halides or generating carbocations under mild conditions. It also serves as a catalyst or intermediate in the preparation of complex organometallic compounds. Its good solubility in polar organic solvents makes it suitable for various synthetic and pharmaceutical research applications.
