Benzenesulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy-, monosodium salt

Description:
Benzenesulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy-, monosodium salt, commonly referred to as sodium 3-hydroxybenzenesulfonate, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) attached to a benzene ring that also features a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the meta position. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water due to the ionic nature of the sodium salt. It exhibits properties typical of both aromatic compounds and sulfonic acids, including the ability to act as a weak acid in solution. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a reducing agent and enhances its reactivity in various chemical reactions. Additionally, it is often used in applications such as surfactants, dyes, and pharmaceuticals, owing to its ability to interact with various biological systems. Its safety profile indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions.
