Uses & manufacturing

Uses · 3 items

Used to make thermoplastic polyester elastomers; [HSDB]

Methyl terephthalate is produced as an intermediate in the synthesis of dimethyl terephthalate. /Methyl terephthalate/

DuPont produces a thermoplastic polyester elastomer called Hytrel, which is derived from polytetrahydrofuran, 1,4-butanediol, and methyl terephthalate.

General Manufacturing Information1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1-methyl ester: ACTIVE
Applications · 2 items

DescriptionThe mono-methyl terephthalate is a kind of phthalate ester. It can be obtained during the hydrolytical transformation process of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) by some microbes such as Rhodococcus rubber and Pasteurella multocida. It is also the intermediate during the manufacturing of dimethyl terephthalate, terephthalic acid and some other derivatives. As the ester form of terephthalate, it is widely used for the manufacturing of plastics, paints, synthetic fibers and polyester.

Usesmono-Methyl Terephthalate is used in the synthesis of Hepatits C antiviral activity. Also used in the design and preparation of benzamide derivatives as BRAFV600E inhibitors, which if mutated, can influence malignancies and melanomas.

Preparation methods

PreparationMonomethyl terephthalate was prepared by hydrolyzing dimethyl terephthalate in KOH methanol solution and then acidifying it with hydrochloric acid, with a product yield of 91.2%.
