Toluene Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-CL-12366
Jlab Export is a leading Toluene Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Toluene (code EL-CL-12366) is methylbenzene, C6H5CH3, an aromatic hydrocarbon with a single methyl group on the benzene ring. Laboratories keep it as a solvent for organic compounds and as the starting material for side-chain oxidation to benzoic acid. This 500 ml bottle is analytical reagent grade, and JLab manufactures it in Ambala, India, with the rest of its organic reagent range.

Oxidising the Side Chain to Benzoate
Heated under reflux with potassium permanganate in alkaline solution, toluene has its methyl side chain oxidised to a carboxylate group, giving a benzoate salt, while the purple permanganate is reduced to brown manganese dioxide. Filtering off the manganese dioxide and acidifying the filtrate with dilute hydrochloric acid precipitates benzoic acid. The ring is not attacked, so benzene, which has no side chain, does not react in the same way.
Related Reagents
- Potassium Permanganate — oxidant that turns the methyl side chain into benzoate.
- Benzene — the parent arene, with no side chain to oxidise.
- Sodium Hydroxide — makes the permanganate solution alkaline before refluxing.
- Hydrochloric Acid Dilute — acidifies the filtrate so that benzoic acid comes out.
