Description
Ethanesulfonyl fluoride (CAS No. 754-03-0) is a highly reactive organosulfur compound with the molecular formula C2H5FO2S. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is widely utilized in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research due to its sulfonyl fluoride functional group, which serves as a versatile electrophile in chemical transformations. With a molecular weight of 112.12 g/mol, it exhibits excellent reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable building block for sulfonamide and sulfonate derivatives. Ethanesulfonyl fluoride is stored under inert conditions to prevent hydrolysis and is typically handled in a fume hood due to its potential lachrymatory effects. Suitable for use in peptide modification, enzyme inhibition studies, and material science applications, this compound is available in high-purity grades (≥95%) with detailed analytical certifications (GC/MS, NMR).
