Product Overview
Benzenesulfonyl chloride is a highly reactive aromatic sulfonyl chloride widely used in organic synthesis for introducing sulfonyl functional groups. This synthesis-grade reagent offers 98%+ purity, ensuring reliable performance in sulfonation and chlorination reactions. The liquid form allows for easy handling and precise dosing in laboratory applications. Its stability under standard conditions makes it suitable for long-term storage without degradation. The compound’s reactivity with amines, alcohols, and other nucleophiles enables versatile synthetic routes. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain consistent purity and reactivity. The 100ml packaging provides an optimal quantity for research-scale experiments while maintaining freshness. This reagent is particularly valuable for preparing sulfonamides, sulfonate esters, and other sulfonyl-containing compounds in multi-step synthetic pathways.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of benzenesulfonyl chloride?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed, benzenesulfonyl chloride maintains its quality for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this reagent be used with moisture-sensitive reactions?
While benzenesulfonyl chloride itself is moisture-sensitive, it can be used in moisture-sensitive reactions if handled under inert atmosphere conditions and freshly opened containers are used.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always use in a well-ventilated fume hood, wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles, and avoid contact with skin or eyes as it can cause severe irritation.
4. How should benzenesulfonyl chloride be disposed of?
Neutralize with a suitable base solution before disposal according to local chemical waste regulations, never dispose of untreated in regular waste streams.
5. What’s the difference between synthesis grade and reagent grade?
Synthesis grade is specifically purified for organic synthesis applications, while reagent grade meets broader analytical standards but may contain trace impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions.
