Description:2-(Methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 33963-55-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety substituted with a methylsulfonyl group at the ortho position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols due to the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group. The methylsulfonyl group enhances its polarity and may influence its reactivity and biological activity. 2-(Methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. Its properties may include moderate melting and boiling points, and it may exhibit acidic behavior, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification or amidation. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
