  This product is the calcium salt of cresol sulfonic acid (C7H8O4S), a white powder, easily soluble in water. Cresol sulfonic acid is needle-shaped crystals with a melting point of 109-110℃. |  [Uses]
  2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzenesulfonic Acid is a by-product during the synthesis of 4-Hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic Acid (H972825), which is derived from m-Cresol (C781915), one of the components that make up liquid rice hull smoke, and may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects in mice. |
