Description:2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 15205-66-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methylsulfonyl group (-SO2CH3) attached to a two-carbon ethyl backbone. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group. Its structure allows for hydrogen bonding, which contributes to its solubility and reactivity. 2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethanol is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it exhibits properties that may influence biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many sulfonyl compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory environments.
