:Sulfuric acid, methyl 2-methylphenyl ester
Description:
Sulfuric acid, methyl 2-methylphenyl ester, also known as methyl 2-methylphenyl sulfate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from sulfuric acid and 2-methylphenol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong acidity due to the presence of the sulfate group. It is soluble in polar solvents, which enhances its reactivity in various chemical processes. The compound is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in chemical reactions, particularly in the production of other organic compounds. Its properties include a relatively high boiling point and a tendency to hydrolyze in the presence of water, releasing sulfuric acid and 2-methylphenol. Safety precautions are essential when handling this substance, as it can be corrosive and may cause severe skin and eye irritation. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials, is crucial to ensure stability and safety.
