3-(Methanesulfonylmethyl)aniline is an organic compound with an aniline core (a benzene ring attached to an amino group, -NH2) substituted at the third position by a methanesulfonylmethyl group (-CH2SO2CH3). This structure combines both nucleophilic and electrophilic reactive centers, making it useful in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of more complex molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The sulfonyl group (-SO2) adds polarity and enhances the compound’s reactivity in various coupling and substitution reactions.
