Product Information

• Name: 3-Methyl-8-quinolinesulfonyl chloride
• Synonyms: 8-Chlorosulfonyl-3-methylquinoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methyl-8-quinolinesulfonyl chloride (3MQSC) is a reaction product of 1,2,4-trioxane and thionyl chloride. 3MQSC is used as an intermediate in the production of l-citrulline from chloroacetic acid. It reacts with paraformaldehyde to form a solid phase synthesis catalyst. 3MQSC catalyzes the reaction between phosphorus pentachloride and chlorine to produce ethyl formate and hydrogen chloride gas. This process is industrialized for the production of ethyl formate, which is used for the manufacture of acetic acid, chlorinated solvents, polymers, and plastics. The high yield of this process makes it one of the most popular routes for producing ethyl formate. Catalysis by 3MQSC can be achieved at low temperature and pressure due to its resistance to heat and low boiling point.
