Methanesulfonic acid CAS#75-75-2

Methanesulfonic acid CAS#75-75-2

Basic Information

Methanesulfonic acid
CH₃SO₃H

Methanesulfonic acid is a strong, nonvolatile organic acid that dissolves well in organic solvents. Its aqueous solutions function as model electrolytes, while its biodegradation profile and process compatibility support the description of a green-acid alternative. It is used as a catalyst for esterification, alkylation and condensation, including preparation of starch, wax, benzoate, phenolic and other alkyl esters. It also participates in borane–tetrahydrofuran complex formation.

product description

Environmentally Friendly Profile‌ : Classified as a "green acid" due to lower toxicity and reduced corrosiveness compared to traditional mineral acids, minimizing environmental impact.


‌Biodegradability‌ : Undergoes natural degradation into CO₂ and sulfate, ensuring sustainability and compliance with ecological standards.


‌Versatile Electrolyte Applications‌ : Serves as a model aqueous electrolyte for electrochemical processes, enabling efficient and stable performance in energy storage and conversion systems.


‌Unique Chemical Structure & Functionality‌ : Acts as an alkanesulfonic acid with a methyl group linked to the sulfo functionality, and serves as an Escherichia coli metabolite, broadening its utility in biological and chemical contexts.

Product Description of Methanesulfonic acid CAS#75-75-2

Methanesulfonic acid (CH₃SO₃H, MSA) is a strong organic acid. It is abundantly generated in the atmosphere by the chemical oxidation of dimethyl sulfide and biodegradable into carbon dioxide and sulfate. With lower toxicity and corrosiveness than conventional mineral acids, MSA is considered a green acid. Its aqueous solution is commonly used as a model electrolyte in electrochemical processes.


Product Application of Methanesulfonic acid CAS#75-75-2

Methanesulfonic acid is non-volatile and well soluble in organic solvents, widely used as a catalyst for esterification, alkylation and condensation reactions. It applies to the synthesis of starch esters, oxidized wax esters, benzoate esters, phenolic esters and various alkyl esters. In polar tetrahydrofuran solvent, it reacts with sodium borohydride to form borane-tetrahydrofuran complex.
