N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methanesulfonamide

Description:

N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methanesulfonamide, also known as a sulfonamide compound, is characterized by its sulfonamide functional group (-SO2NH2) attached to a phenolic structure. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) ortho to the sulfonamide group on the aromatic ring, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. Typically, sulfonamides exhibit antibacterial properties, although the specific biological activity of this compound may vary. It is generally a white to off-white solid, soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols due to the presence of both hydrophilic sulfonamide and hydroxyl groups. The compound may also exhibit moderate stability under standard conditions but can be sensitive to extreme pH levels or heat. Its applications may extend to pharmaceuticals, where it could serve as a building block in drug synthesis or as a potential therapeutic agent. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
