Description:Butanesulfonyl chloride, with the CAS number 2386-60-9, is an organic sulfonyl chloride characterized by its sulfonic acid derivative structure. It features a butane backbone with a sulfonyl chloride functional group, which imparts significant reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is known for its ability to act as a sulfonating agent in organic synthesis. Butanesulfonyl chloride is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is not soluble in water due to its hydrophobic butane chain. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. In laboratory settings, it is often used to synthesize sulfonamides and other sulfonyl derivatives, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and chemical research. Proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this reagent to mitigate any potential hazards.
