Sodium 5-methylthiophene-2-sulfinate (CAS: 104879-63-8) is a specialized organosulfur intermediate with the molecular formula C5H5NaO2S2. It is typically synthesized via sulfonation of 5-methylthiophene followed by oxidation and neutralization. This reagent serves as a critical building block in fine chemical manufacturing.
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection; avoid inhalation of dust. Not intended for direct clinical use without further processing.
