(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate

Description:

(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate, with the CAS number 71532-40-6, is an organic compound characterized by its sulfonate ester structure. This compound features a fluorenyl group, which contributes to its aromatic properties and stability, along with a methyl group on the benzene ring that enhances its lipophilicity. The sulfonate moiety is known for its ability to act as a leaving group in various chemical reactions, making this compound useful in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, which facilitates its use in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis. The presence of both aromatic and aliphatic components in its structure allows for diverse reactivity patterns, making it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. As with many sulfonate esters, it may exhibit moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this compound.
