CAS 3112-88-7

[(Phenylmethyl)sulfonyl]benzene

Description:

[(Phenylmethyl)sulfonyl]benzene, also known by its CAS number 3112-88-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonyl group attached to a benzene ring, with a phenylmethyl (benzyl) substituent. This compound typically exhibits a white to light yellow crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The sulfonyl group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of sulfonamides and other derivatives. Its chemical properties include the ability to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, and it may also participate in nucleophilic attack due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the sulfonyl group. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Overall, [(Phenylmethyl)sulfonyl]benzene is a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry and materials science.
