Chloro(methylsulfonyl)methane

Description:

Chloro(methylsulfonyl)methane, also known by its CAS number 2351-74-8, is an organosulfur compound characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group and a methylsulfonyl functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Chloro(methylsulfonyl)methane is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. It is also recognized for its potential applications in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. However, due to its chlorinated nature, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and adherence to safety protocols. As with many organochlorine compounds, it is important to consider its regulatory status and potential impact on human health and the environment.

Chloromethyl Methyl Sulfone

CAS: 2351-74-8

Chloromethyl Methyl Sulfone is a nucleophilic acceptor for aldehydes and pyridinium compounds. It can be synthesized by the reaction of methyl sulfoxide and hydrochloric acid in the presence of triazole and hydroxide ion. Chloromethyl Methyl Sulfone is a crystalline solid that can be used to study the interaction of kinesin with methyl sulfones. This compound has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on cellular activity, which may be due to its ability to react with chloride ions, forming chloromethyl methyl sulfonium chloride.
