CAS 74426-50-9

Benzeneacetyl chloride, 4-(methylsulfonyl)-

Description:

Benzeneacetyl chloride, 4-(methylsulfonyl)-, also known by its CAS number 74426-50-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an acetyl chloride functional group and a methylsulfonyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acetyl chloride moiety, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. The methylsulfonyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents and can influence its reactivity and stability. It is often used in organic synthesis as an intermediate in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent hydrolysis.
