2-(METHYLSULFONYL)ETHANOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear yellow liquid or low melting solid

Uses

2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethanol may be used as reagent in the synthesis of phenols from aryl fluorides. It may be used in the preparation of 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate. 2-Hydroxyethyl Methyl Sulfone, is the versatile building block used in the synthesis of more complex sulfur containing compounds. It can be used for the studies of inhibitor and substrate moieties to acetylcholinesterase.

General Description

Reaction of 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanol with cotton cellulose yields methylsulfonylethyl substituents in the 2-O- to 6-O-positions of the monosubstituted D-glucopyranosyl unit of cotton cellulose.
