methanesulfonylkloridi
Methanesulfonylkloridi is an organic chemical compound with the formula CH3SO2Cl. It is also known by its common name mesyl chloride. This colorless to light yellow liquid has a pungent odor and is characterized by its high reactivity. It is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of mesylates, which are good leaving groups in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
The synthesis of methanesulfonylkloridi typically involves the reaction of methanesulfonic acid with chlorinating agents such as
In medicinal chemistry, methanesulfonylkloridi is employed to convert hydroxyl groups in drug molecules into mesylates, thereby
