Description

Ethanol, 2-(phenylsulfonyl)- is a synthetic chemical compound. It is used as an electron donor in the Suzuki coupling reaction and has shown significant cytotoxicity against tumour cell lines. This product also has been used in the synthesis of naphthalene and pulchella. The mechanism for its cytotoxicity involves the desulfurization of tyrosinase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of dihydroxyphenylalanine to melanin. This product has also been shown to be effective against glandularia with structural studies showing that it reacts with sulfonic acid groups.
