Pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) is a salt of pyridine and p-toluenesulfonic acid. It is a colourless solid.

Uses

In organic synthesis, PPTS is used as a weakly acidic catalyst, providing an organic soluble source of pyridinium (C₅H₅NH⁺) ions. For example, PPTS is used to deprotect silyl ethers or tetrahydropyranyl ethers when a substrate is unstable to stronger acid catalysts. It is also a commonly used catalyst for the preparation of acetals and ketals from aldehydes and ketones.

gollark: I'm not aware of *other* definitions which, well, make sense.

gollark: Impressive sleep schedule.

gollark: That's not the same thing, though.

gollark: Organism is a word from biology, so it seems reasonable. Also, it's astronomical.

gollark: Somewhat. "Organism" implies different things in hard-to-explain ways.
