Sodium 4-methylbenzenesulfinate dihydrate, with the CAS number 7257-26-3, is an organic sulfonate compound characterized by the presence of a sulfonate group (-SO3Na) attached to a 4-methylbenzene (p-toluene) moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the ionic nature of the sodium sulfonate group. It is often used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis and can serve as a reagent in various chemical reactions, including sulfonation and as a stabilizer in certain formulations. The dihydrate form indicates that it contains two molecules of water per formula unit, which can influence its stability and solubility. Sodium 4-methylbenzenesulfinate dihydrate is generally considered to be stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care, as with all chemical substances, to avoid any potential hazards associated with its use.
