Benzenesulfonyl chloride, 3-(dimethylamino)-

Description:

Benzenesulfonyl chloride, 3-(dimethylamino)- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonyl chloride functional group attached to a benzene ring, which is further substituted with a dimethylamino group at the meta position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the sulfonyl chloride group, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of sulfonamides and other derivatives. The dimethylamino group contributes to its basicity and can influence its solubility in various solvents. Additionally, this compound may exhibit moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, as it can release hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
