(3-methylphenyl)methanesulfonyl chloride

Description:
(3-Methylphenyl)methanesulfonyl chloride, with the CAS number 53531-68-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonyl chloride functional group attached to a methanesulfonyl moiety and a 3-methylphenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and storage conditions. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where it can act as a sulfonating agent. The presence of the sulfonyl chloride group makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of sulfonamides and other sulfonyl-containing compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be corrosive and may release toxic gases upon contact with water or moisture. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when working with this chemical.
