Structural formulation: CH3SO3H
Molecular formulation: CH4O3S
CAS No.: 75-75-2
Characteristics: Methanesulfonic acid is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula CH3SO3H. It is the simplest of the alkylsulfonic acids. Salts and esters of methanesulfonic acid are known as mesylates. Methanesulfonic acid is used as an acid catalyst in organic reactions because it is non-volatile, strong acid that is soluble in organic solvents. Methanesulfonic acid is convenient for industrial applications because it is liquid at ambient temperature, while the closely related p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) is solid. However, in a laboratory setting, solid PTSA is more convenient.
Application: Methanesulfonic acid is medical and farm chemical raw material, and used as dehydrating agent, coating solidifying accelerant, fiber treating agent, catalytic agent of esterification and polymerization.
