2-Chlorophenyl methyl sulfone (ortho-chlorophenyl methyl sulfone) is a key sulfone-based intermediate used in pharmaceutical synthesis and agrochemical production. This compound features a melting point of 90-94°C and boiling point of 315.5±37.0°C (predicted). With a density of 1.361 g/cm³ and refractive index of 1.548, it demonstrates stability under normal conditions. The sulfone group adjacent to the chloro-substituent enables diverse organic transformations, particularly in Suzuki coupling and nucleophilic substitution reactions. Storage should be in sealed containers at 2-8°C to prevent moisture absorption. Safety precautions include using protective gloves/eyewear due to potential irritation (GHS Category 2).
