1-Propanesulfonic acid, 3-(methylamino)-

Description:

1-Propanesulfonic acid, 3-(methylamino)-, also known by its CAS number 163221-06-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonic acid functional group and a methylamino group attached to a propyl chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the sulfonic acid group, which enhances its ability to interact with water molecules. The presence of the methylamino group contributes to its basicity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. This compound may be used in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis, in pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical substances. Its properties, such as pH, reactivity, and stability, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines.
