Uses | Triclosan methyl ester can be used as an intermediate for the preparation of 2,4,4'-trichloro-2 '-hydroxydiphenyl ether, widely used in soap and cosmetics as fungicides, and is Triclosan famous for its generic name. |
Preparation | When it is introduced commercially, triclosan methyl ester is prepared by the following method: 2,4,4 '-trichloro-2'-Aminodiphenyl ether is diazotized with nitrosyl sulfuric acid, and then the resulting diazonium bisulfate is diazoated with hot strong sulfuric acid. |
biological activity | Triclosan-methyl are Triclosan transformation products. Triclosan are fungicides in personal care products such as toothpaste, shampoo and soap. Triclosan is also a stabilizer in various detergents and cosmetics. |
