2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonamide

Description:

2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonamide, also known by its CAS number 82020-57-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonamide group, a hydroxyl group, and a nitro group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the sulfonamide and hydroxyl functional groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The nitro group contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical reactions. 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonamide may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of antimicrobial agents or other therapeutic compounds. Its structural features suggest that it could participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, and its sulfonamide moiety may influence its interaction with biological targets. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or environmental impact.
