2-Formylbenzenesulfonamide

Description:

2-Formylbenzenesulfonamide, with the CAS number 887571-09-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a formyl group (-CHO) and a sulfonamide group (-SO2NH2) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the sulfonamide functionality, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The presence of the formyl group makes it a potential precursor for various chemical reactions, including condensation and substitution reactions, which can be utilized in synthetic organic chemistry. The sulfonamide group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in acid-base reactions. Additionally, 2-Formylbenzenesulfonamide may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its structural features suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. As with many sulfonamides, it may also exhibit specific reactivity patterns, such as nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon, which can be exploited in further chemical synthesis.
