N-Butyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide(CAS: 1907-65-9)

N-Butyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide has a white crystalline form. Its molecular weight is approximately 214.26 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. It shows moderate reactivity under certain conditions, particularly in acidic environments.

N-Butyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide is typically synthesized through the reaction of 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride with n-butylamine. This reaction is carried out in the presence of a base like sodium hydroxide, yielding a high selectivity and good yield.

N-Butyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drugs. It also finds applications in the polymer industry as a stabilizer, in the semiconductor industry as a precursor, and in the sensor industry for detecting specific gases or chemicals.

When handling N-Butyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Ensure the reaction is carried out in a fume hood to avoid inhalation. In case of spill, use appropriate spill kits and follow the safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines for disposal.
