CLEAR SLIGHTLY YELLOW TO BROWN LIQUID
2-Chloroethanesulfonyl chloride was used in one-pot sulfonylation/intramolecular thia-Michael protocol for the synthesis of 1,5,2-dithiazepine 1,1-dioxides. It was also used in synthesis of vinyl sulfonamides with a furan, carbocyclic, semi cyclic or acyclic 1,3-diene moiety.
A liquid. Density 1.56 g / cm3. Flash point exceeds 230°F.
Reacts with water to produce corrosive and toxic gaseous hydrogen chloride.
2-CHLOROETHANESULFONYL CHLORIDE is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, amines, alkali. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291].
