CAS 87478-60-2

Benzene, 1-[(chloromethyl)sulfonyl]-4-ethyl-

Description:

Benzene, 1-[(chloromethyl)sulfonyl]-4-ethyl-, also known by its CAS number 87478-60-2, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with both a chloromethyl group and a sulfonyl group at the para position relative to an ethyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with aromatic compounds, such as stability and a tendency to participate in electrophilic substitution reactions. The presence of the sulfonyl group enhances its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical transformations. It is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. The chloromethyl group introduces a reactive site, allowing for nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the production of specialty chemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound due to its potential toxicity and reactivity.
