CAS 15205-66-0: 2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethanol

2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethanol may be used as reagent in the synthesis of phenols from aryl fluorides. It may be used in the preparation of 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate. 2-Hydroxyethyl Methyl Sulfone, is the versatile building block used in the synthesis of more complex sulfur containing compounds. It can be used for the studies of inhibitor and substrate moieties to acetylcholinesterase. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

2-(Methylsulfonyl) Ethanol

2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethanol (MSET) is a sulfoxide that has been shown to inhibit the activity of protein kinases. It acts as a competitive inhibitor of ATP, leading to inhibition of the enzyme's activity. MSET also inhibits the phosphorylation of cholesteryl ester transfer protein, which is involved in lipid metabolism and transport. This compound has a high degree of membrane permeability and may be used in functional assays to detect protein kinase activity. The reaction product between MSET and an electron-deficient double bond (e.g., enolate) can form either a dipole or an epoxide, depending on the reactivity of the double bond.
