Description

2-(Ethylsulfonyl)Ethanol CAS NO 513-12-2 is a versatile organosulfur compound featuring both a sulfonyl and a hydroxyl functional group, making it a valuable intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature allows for selective reactivity, enabling the construction of complex molecules for high-value applications. This chemical is primarily sought after by R&D laboratories and production facilities in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring sulfonamide or sulfone linkages.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where the sulfonyl group enhances biological activity.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating specialty polymers with specific solubility, adhesion, or thermal properties.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent for exploring new reaction pathways and developing novel compounds in academic and industrial R&D settings.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonated dyes and organic pigments, improving water solubility and color fastness.
• Surfactant and Detergent Industry: Potential precursor for anionic surfactants due to the presence of the polar sulfonyl and hydroxyl groups.
