[(Methylsulfonyl)methyl]benzene

Description:

[(Methylsulfonyl)methyl]benzene, also known as benzyl methylsulfone, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a methylsulfonyl group. Its molecular structure features a methylsulfonyl functional group (-SO2CH3) attached to a benzyl group (C6H5CH2-), which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the sulfonyl group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored for potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many sulfonyl compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
