PRECAUTION::

General Precautions:

• Flammability: Ethyl titanate is a flammable liquid and vapor, so keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. 
• Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials. 
• Container: Keep containers tightly closed to prevent evaporation and potential ignition. 
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas, to prevent the buildup of flammable vapors. 
• Static Discharge: Take precautionary measures against static discharge, as this can cause ignition. 
• Tools: Use only non-sparking tools when handling ethyl titanate. 
• Eye and Skin Contact: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. 
• Inhalation: Avoid inhaling vapors or mist. 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

• Gloves: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin contact.
• Eye Protection: Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles.
• Face Protection: Use face protection if there is a risk of splashing or spraying.
• Respirator: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. 

Uses of Benzoic Acid

Some important uses of C6H5COOH are listed below.

• The production of phenol involves the use of benzoic acid.
• This compound is used in ointments that prevent or treat fungal skin diseases.
• C6H5COOH is used as a preservative in the food industry.
• Benzoic acid is an ingredient in many cosmetic products, such as lipsticks.
• It is also a precursor to benzoyl chloride, which finds its application in making other chemicals, dyes, perfumes, herbicides and medicines.
• One of the components of toothpaste, mouthwash, and face wash creams is C6H5
• This compound is also used in the manufacture of dyes and in insect repellants.

• 2-Methylimidazole is used as a raw material for the preparation of nitroimidazole antibiotics, which is useful in combat anaerobic bacterial and parasitic infections. It acts as a ligand in coordination chemistry.
• It is also employed as a hardener or accelerator for epoxy resin and auxiliary agent for textile dyes. Further, it acts as a catalyst for refolding of enhanced colored fluorescent protein.
• It is also useful as a building block in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. In addition to this, it is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient intermediate such as metronidazole and dimetridazole. 
• 2-Methylimidazole is a monomethylated imidazole that can be used as a building block in the preparation of a wide range of biologically active compounds.
• 2-Methylimidazole as well as other imidazoles can be use as catalyst for refolding of enhanced coloured fluorescent protein.
• 2-Methylimidazole has been identified as a byproduct of fermentation and is detected in foods and mainstream and side-str eam tobacco smoke.
