Description

4-Methoxyphenylmethylsulfone is a sulfur-containing organic molecule. It has been postulated that sulfur may have played a key role in the origin of life. This compound can be used to create cavity analogues of sulfoxides, which are important in the study of molecular recognition and catalysis. 4-Methoxyphenylmethylsulfone is also used as a catalyst for the transformation of methyl sulfones, which are found in many natural products. The binding constants for this compound have been determined experimentally by following its reaction with an ionic liquid and organic solvent. 4-Methoxyphenylmethylsulfone can be tracked with radioactive isotopes, making it useful for studying the distribution of sulfur on Earth and other planets.
