p-Cresol sulfate

Description:
p-Cresol sulfate, with the CAS number 3233-58-7, is a chemical compound derived from p-cresol, which is a methyl-substituted phenol. This compound is characterized by the presence of a sulfate group (-SO4) attached to the aromatic ring. p-Cresol sulfate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the sulfate group. It is known for its role in various biochemical processes, particularly in the metabolism of phenolic compounds in the human body. As a sulfate derivative, it may exhibit properties such as being a weak acid and can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. p-Cresol sulfate is also of interest in environmental chemistry, as it can be a product of microbial degradation of phenolic compounds in wastewater. Safety considerations include its potential irritant effects on skin and mucous membranes, necessitating appropriate handling precautions in laboratory and industrial settings.
