Benzoic acid, 2-amino-4-(methylsulfonyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-amino-4-(methylsulfonyl)-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 158580-87-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with an amino group and a methylsulfonyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. The presence of the amino group contributes to its potential as a weak base, while the methylsulfonyl group enhances its solubility and may influence its reactivity. Benzoic acid derivatives are known for their applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its stability under standard conditions and reactivity with various functional groups can be leveraged in synthetic pathways. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to ensure proper handling and usage.
