Description

Methanedisulfonic acid is an inorganic chemical with a molecular weight of 171.06 g/mol and a melting point of -63 °C. It is soluble in water and has a neutral ph. Methanedisulfonic acid has been used as an antihypertensive agent to lower blood pressure by blocking the production of angiotensin II, which is responsible for vasoconstriction and increased vascular resistance. Methanedisulfonic acid also has a role in the production of dyes and textile auxiliaries, where it reacts with basic dyes or ethylene diamine to produce reactive intermediates. The reaction solution can be hydrolyzed into methanesulfonic acid, which reacts with fatty acids to form methanesulfonates.
