(2-Methylphenyl)methanesulfonyl chloride

Description:

(2-Methylphenyl)methanesulfonyl chloride, with the CAS number 92614-55-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonyl chloride functional group attached to a (2-methylphenyl)methyl moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where it can act as a sulfonating agent. The sulfonyl chloride group is highly electrophilic, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, especially for the preparation of sulfonamides and other sulfonyl derivatives. The compound is generally sensitive to moisture and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to prevent hydrolysis, which can lead to the formation of the corresponding sulfonic acid. Safety precautions are essential when working with this substance, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials, is recommended to maintain its stability.
