PTSA Monohydrate vs. Other Acid Catalysts

This paper aims to compare PTSA monohydrate with other traditional acids, such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. The lower volatility, lower corrosiveness, and high catalytic efficiency activity of PTSA monohydrate are better than those of these acids. Traditional mineral acids are less stable and less hazardous, and are less selective in organic reactions. In addition, it produces higher reaction control with lower yields of unwanted by-products. This is because PTSA monohydrate is more selective in its reactions and has a shorter reaction time than sulfuric acid. Furthermore, it is environmentally friendly and safe to handle, thus reducing the risk of accidents or harm to the environment.
