Product Overview
Methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCl) is a highly reactive sulfonyl chloride compound widely used as a sulfonating agent in organic synthesis. This synthesis-grade reagent offers exceptional purity (98%+) and stability under standard laboratory conditions, ensuring reliable performance in critical reactions. The liquid form allows for precise volumetric dosing, making it suitable for both small-scale and bulk applications. Its low moisture content minimizes side reactions, while the absence of heavy metal impurities ensures clean reaction profiles. The compound’s high reactivity with alcohols, amines, and other nucleophiles makes it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry. Proper handling is recommended due to its corrosive nature, with storage in tightly sealed containers under inert atmosphere preserving its potency. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international laboratory standards, with batch-specific certificates of analysis available upon request.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of methanesulfonyl chloride when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and light, methanesulfonyl chloride maintains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this product be used directly without further purification?
The synthesis grade methanesulfonyl chloride is supplied at 98%+ purity and can typically be used as received for most laboratory applications without additional purification steps.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated fume hood due to its corrosive and lachrymatory properties.
4. How should methanesulfonyl chloride be disposed of after use?
Neutralize carefully with sodium bicarbonate solution before disposal according to local chemical waste regulations, never pour down drains or discard with regular trash.
5. What is the recommended storage temperature for this product?
Store at 2-8°C in tightly sealed original containers to prevent moisture absorption and degradation of the product quality over time.
