2-Methoxybenzenesulfinic acid

Description:

2-Methoxybenzenesulfinic acid, also known as o-methoxybenzenesulfinic acid, is an aromatic sulfonic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to a benzene ring, along with a sulfinic acid group (-SO2H). This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and various organic solvents, making it versatile for different applications. It is known for its role as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of sulfonamides and other sulfonic acid derivatives. The sulfinic acid functional group imparts unique reactivity, allowing for nucleophilic substitution and other transformations. Additionally, 2-methoxybenzenesulfinic acid can exhibit antioxidant properties and may be utilized in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many sulfonic acids, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects on skin and mucous membranes.
