3-Amino-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Description:
3-Amino-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, also known as sulfanilamide, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group and a sulfonamide functional group attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a sulfonyl group (–SO2) linked to an amine (–NH2) and a methyl group (–CH3) on the aromatic ring, which contributes to its solubility and reactivity. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly as an antibacterial agent. It exhibits properties such as being a weak acid and can form salts with bases. The presence of the sulfonamide group is crucial for its biological activity, as it mimics para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is essential for bacterial growth. Additionally, 3-amino-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide is used in the synthesis of dyes and other chemical intermediates, showcasing its versatility in organic chemistry.
