2-Amino-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenol is a key sulfone-containing intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. This compound exhibits a melting point of 156-160°C and boiling point of 436.3±45.0°C (predicted), with a density of 1.419 g/cm³ and refractive index of 1.603. The material should be stored in sealed containers protected from light and moisture. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves/eyewear due to potential skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2). Its unique structure combining amino, hydroxyl, and methylsulfonyl groups enables diverse chemical transformations for drug development.
