CAS 1612-41-5

Benzene, 1-[(ethylsulfonyl)methyl]-4-nitro-

Description:

Benzene, 1-[(ethylsulfonyl)methyl]-4-nitro-, also known by its CAS number 1612-41-5, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a nitro group and an ethylsulfonylmethyl group. The presence of the nitro group (-NO2) indicates that it is a nitroaromatic compound, which often exhibits significant reactivity and can participate in electrophilic substitution reactions. The ethylsulfonylmethyl group introduces a sulfonyl functional group, which enhances the compound's solubility in polar solvents and may influence its biological activity. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may have a distinct aromatic odor. Its applications can range from use in organic synthesis to potential roles in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, although specific uses may vary. Safety considerations are important, as nitro compounds can be hazardous, and proper handling and disposal protocols should be followed to mitigate risks associated with toxicity and environmental impact.
