The Uses of Methyl vinyl sulfone

Methyl vinyl sulfone has been used:

as derivatization reagent in an improved method for detection of pseudouridine in nucleoside mixtures by capillary HPLC-mass spectrometry
in preparation of methylsulfonylethyl cellulose via Michael addition to cotton fabric
in Heck vinylation of aryl halides

General Description

Clear pale yellow liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Methyl vinyl sulfone is incompatible with oxidizing agents . Can react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas or hydrogen sulfide. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiatiators, can undergo exothermic polymerization reactions.

Fire Hazard

Methyl vinyl sulfone is probably combustible.

Purification Methods

Pass the sulfone through a column of alumina, then de-gas, distil it in a vacuum line and store it at -190o until required. [Beilstein 1 III 1866.]
