Sodium 2-(sulfooxy)benzoate hydrate (1:1:2)(CAS: 1300-61-4)

Sodium 2-(sulfooxy)benzoate hydrate (1:1:2) is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 306.24 g/mol. It has a solubility of about 20 g/L in water. The compound is moderately reactive, particularly towards bases and acids. It can undergo hydrolysis and esterification reactions under certain conditions.

Sodium 2-(sulfooxy)benzoate hydrate (1:1:2) can be synthesized by the reaction of benzoic acid with sulfur trioxide in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The process involves the formation of a sulfinic acid ester followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide to form the sodium salt. The hydrate form is obtained by crystallization from a suitable solvent.

Sodium 2-(sulfooxy)benzoate hydrate (1:1:2) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients. It also finds applications in the polymer industry for stabilizing polymer materials and in the production of certain sensors and semiconductors.

When handling Sodium 2-(sulfooxy)benzoate hydrate (1:1:2), appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat should be worn. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Spills should be carefully cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials, and the area should be flushed with water. Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific handling and disposal instructions.
