Description

Dimethyl terephthalate is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₄(COOCH₃)₂. It is the diester formed from terephthalic acid and methanol. This compound appears as a white solid that melts to give a distillable colorless liquid. This compound is primarily used in the production of polyesters, including polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate.

Application

Chemistry:Used as a precursor in the synthesis of polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate.

Biology:Studies have shown that this compound can affect adipogenesis and thermogenesis mechanisms in adipocytes, indicating its potential role as an endocrine-disrupting chemical.

Medicine:Research on the effects of this compound on adipocytes suggests its potential impact on metabolic processes and obesity-related conditions.

Industry:Widely used in the production of polyester fibers, Resins, films, and engineering plastics.
