3,5-Dichlorobenzeneethanesulfonyl chloride

Description:

3,5-Dichlorobenzeneethanesulfonyl chloride, with the CAS number 93427-16-8, is a chemical compound characterized by its sulfonyl chloride functional group attached to a dichlorobenzene ring and an ethane chain. 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 due to the presence of the sulfonyl chloride group, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis, especially for the introduction of sulfonyl groups into various organic molecules. The dichlorobenzene moiety contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the sulfonyl chloride enhances its electrophilic nature. This compound should be handled with care, as it can be corrosive and may release toxic gases upon reaction with water or moisture. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
