Ethanol, 2-chloro-, 1-methanesulfonate

Description:
Ethanol, 2-chloro-, 1-methanesulfonate, also known as chloroethyl methanesulfonate (CEMS), is an organic compound characterized by its chloroethyl and methanesulfonate functional groups. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly as an alkylating agent, which allows it to interact with nucleophiles, including DNA, making it of interest in biochemical research and potential applications in pharmaceuticals. CEMS is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, which enhances its utility in various chemical reactions. However, it is also important to note that this compound can be hazardous; it may pose health risks upon exposure, including potential mutagenic effects. Therefore, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it in laboratory settings. Its applications extend to areas such as synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry, where it may be used in the synthesis of more complex molecules.
