Methanesulfonic acid (MsOH, MSA) or methanesulphonic acid (in British English) is an organosulfuric, colorless liquid with the molecular formula CH 3 SO 3 H and structure H 3 C−S(=O) 2 −OH. It is the simplest of the alkylsulfonic acids ( R−S(=O) 2 −OH ).
Methanesulfonyl azide melts at 18 °C and decomposes from 120 °C. [1] Like many other azides, it is explosive. [3] At low temperature, methanesulfonyl azide crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system in the space group P1 with the lattice parameters a = 5.6240 Å; b = 5.9498 Å, c = 7.6329 Å, α = 72.216°, β = 70.897°, and γ = 88.601°, and two molecules per unit cell.
Methanedisulfonic acid is the organosulfur compound with the formula CH 2 (SO 3 H) 2. It is the disulfonic acid of methane. It is prepared by treatment of methanesulfonic acid with oleum. Its acid strength (pK a) is comparable to that of sulfuric acid. [3]
It is the ethyl ester of methanesulfonic acid. A colorless liquid, it is classified as an alkylating agent. EMS is the most commonly used chemical mutagen in experimental genetics. [4] [5] Mutations induced by EMS exposure can then be studied in genetic screens or other assays.
The general formula is R−SO 2 NR'R" or R−S(=O) 2 −NR'R", where each R is some organic group; for example, "methanesulfonamide" (where R = methane, R' = R" = hydrogen) is CH 3 SO 2 NH 2. Any sulfonamide can be considered as derived from a sulfonic acid by replacing a hydroxyl group (−OH) with an amine group.
Ms 2 O may be prepared by the dehydration of methanesulfonic acid with phosphorus pentoxide. [2] P 2 O 5 + 6 CH 3 SO 3 H → 3 (CH 3 SO 2) 2 O + 2 H 3 PO 4. Ms 2 O can be purified by distillation under vacuum (distillation of a solid) or by recrystallization from Methyl tert-butyl ether/toluene.
In organosulfur chemistry, a mesylate is any salt or ester of methanesulfonic acid (CH 3 SO 3 H). In salts, the mesylate is present as the CH 3 SO − 3 anion . When modifying the international nonproprietary name of a pharmaceutical substance containing the group or anion, the spelling used is sometimes mesilate (as in imatinib mesilate , the ...
General structure of a sulfonic acid with the functional group indicated in blue. In organic chemistry, sulfonic acid (or sulphonic acid) refers to a member of the class of organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−S(=O) 2 −OH, where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group and the S(=O) 2 (OH) group a sulfonyl hydroxide.
