1,2,3-Propanetriol, 1-(4-methylbenzenesulfonate)

Description:

1,2,3-Propanetriol, 1-(4-methylbenzenesulfonate), commonly known as glycerol monomethyl sulfonate, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a glycerol backbone with a sulfonate group attached to a methyl-substituted aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in water due to the hydrophilic nature of the glycerol moiety. Its sulfonate group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of surfactants. The presence of both hydroxyl groups and a sulfonate group contributes to its potential as a multifunctional agent in formulations, such as in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Additionally, the compound may exhibit properties such as hygroscopicity and the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its behavior in different environments. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
