1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(ethylsulfonyl)benzene

Description:

1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(ethylsulfonyl)benzene, identified by its CAS number 917396-46-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group and an ethylsulfonyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a white to light yellow solid appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and acetone, but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The chloromethyl group is a reactive site, making the compound useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The ethylsulfonyl group contributes to the compound's overall polarity and can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As with many sulfonyl-containing compounds, it may exhibit interesting pharmacological properties, making it a candidate for further research in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its chlorinated and sulfonyl functionalities.
