General description

Benzenesulfonic acid, also known as besylic acid, is a strong organic acid commonly used as an acid catalyst in various organic reactions, such as esterification, alkylation, and condensation reactions. It is also used as a sulfonating agent to introduce sulfonic acid (SO3H) groups into organic compounds, which can be useful in the synthesis of several dye intermediates.

A series of TiO(2)-Cu(2)O mixed oxides were prepared by the hydrolysis of titanium butoxide and reduction of copper acetate with hydrazine. These composite oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM)
