Sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (CAS 149-44-0)
QUICK LINKS
Sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate hydrate functions as a reducing agent in chemical reactions, in the reduction of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols. It acts by donating a hydrogen atom to the carbonyl group, leading to the formation of a hydroxyl group and the reduction of the carbonyl compound. Sodium Hydroxymethanesulfinate Hydrate′s mechanism of action involves the transfer of a hydride ion to the carbonyl carbon, resulting in the formation of a new C-H bond and the conversion of the carbonyl group into a hydroxyl group. This process occurs through a nucleophilic addition mechanism, where the hydride ion attacks the electrophilic carbon of the carbonyl group, leading to the reduction reaction. Sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate hydrate plays a functional role in facilitating the synthesis of alcohols from carbonyl compounds, contributing to the understanding of organic chemical reactions and the development of new methodologies.
