Hydrazine,[2-methyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-

Description:

Hydrazine, [2-methyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-, also known by its CAS number 782436-54-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydrazine functional group attached to a substituted aromatic ring. This compound features a methyl group and a methylsulfonyl group on the phenyl ring, which contribute to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. The presence of the sulfonyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including those in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Hydrazine derivatives are known for their applications as reducing agents, in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. However, it is important to note that hydrazine and its derivatives can be toxic and potentially hazardous, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in laboratory settings.
