Atomfair Chloromethyl phenyl sulphide C7H7ClS CAS 7205-91-6

Description

Chloromethyl phenyl sulphide (CAS: 7205-91-6) is a highly specialized organosulfur compound with the molecular formula C₇H₇ClS. Also known by its IUPAC name chloromethylsulfanylbenzene, this chemical is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of sulfur-containing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The compound features a reactive chloromethyl group (-CH₂Cl) attached to a phenyl sulfide moiety, making it a valuable electrophile for nucleophilic substitution reactions. It is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic pungent odor, and should be stored under inert conditions due to its sensitivity to moisture and air. Ideal for researchers in medicinal chemistry, catalysis, and material science, this product is available in high purity grades (≥95%) with detailed analytical certifications including GC-MS, ¹H/¹³C NMR, and FTIR spectra. Proper handling with PPE is recommended.
