CAS 60036-45-5

Benzenesulfonyl chloride, 2-(methylthio)-

Description:

Benzenesulfonyl chloride, 2-(methylthio)-, also known by its CAS number 60036-45-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzenesulfonyl group attached to a methylthio substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong sulfonyl chloride functionality, which makes it a potent electrophile in chemical reactions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the methylthio group enhances its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in the synthesis of sulfonamides and other sulfonyl-containing compounds. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this chemical.
