Description:4-(Methylsulfonyl)benzonitrile, with the CAS number 22821-76-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzonitrile moiety substituted with a methylsulfonyl group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a solid and is known for its aromatic properties due to the benzene ring. The methylsulfonyl group contributes to its polar nature, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. It is often utilized in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research, particularly as an intermediate in the production of various biologically active compounds. The presence of the nitrile functional group (-C≡N) imparts unique reactivity, making it a valuable building block in the synthesis of other organic molecules. Additionally, 4-(methylsulfonyl)benzonitrile may exhibit specific biological activities, although detailed studies on its pharmacological properties may be limited. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
