Methanesulfonamide

Product Overview

Methanesulfonamide, also known as Methylsulfonamide, is a critical organic compound widely utilized in the agrochemical industry. With the CAS registry number 3144-09-0, this chemical serves as a fundamental building block in the synthesis of various sophisticated pesticides. Our facility specializes in the production of high-grade Methanesulfonamide, ensuring that every batch meets stringent international quality standards. The compound is characterized by its stability and reactivity, making it an ideal candidate for complex organic synthesis pathways required in modern agricultural chemistry.

As a leading global manufacturer, we understand the importance of consistency in chemical manufacturing. Our Methanesulfonamide is produced under strictly controlled conditions to minimize impurities such as ammonia and water, which can adversely affect downstream reactions. The product typically presents as a white crystal powder, indicating high levels of purity and proper crystallization processes during manufacturing. This physical appearance is a key quality indicator for procurement managers seeking reliable raw materials for large-scale production.

Technical Specifications

To ensure transparency and quality assurance, we provide detailed technical data for every shipment. The following table outlines the key physicochemical properties and quality parameters of our standard grade Methanesulfonamide. These specifications are verified through advanced analytical methods including HPLC and GC-MS.

Industrial Applications

The primary application of Methanesulfonamide lies in the synthesis of herbicides, most notably as a key intermediate for Fomesafen (CAS 72178-02-0). Fomesafen is a widely used selective herbicide effective against broadleaf weeds in soybean and other crop fields. The quality of the Methanesulfonamide used in this synthesis directly impacts the yield and purity of the final herbicide product. Therefore, maintaining low levels of ammonia and water is crucial to prevent side reactions that could compromise the efficacy of the final agricultural formulation.

Beyond Fomesafen, this sulfonamide derivative finds utility in various other organic synthesis routes within the specialty chemicals sector. Researchers and process chemists value this compound for its predictable reactivity profile. Whether used in laboratory-scale research or industrial-scale manufacturing, our product provides a reliable foundation for developing new agrochemical solutions. We support clients with technical data packages that facilitate smooth regulatory filings and process validation.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control is embedded in every stage of our manufacturing process. From raw material sourcing to final packaging, each batch undergoes rigorous testing. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing the specific test results for assay, moisture, and impurities. This documentation is essential for supply chain traceability and compliance with global chemical regulations.

Our standard packaging consists of 25kg drums, designed to protect the product from moisture and contamination during transit. However, we offer flexible packaging solutions tailored to specific customer requirements, including bulk containers for large-scale industrial users. Proper storage is recommended in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, with containers kept tightly closed to maintain product integrity. By choosing our Methanesulfonamide, partners gain access to a reliable supply chain backed by decades of chemical manufacturing expertise.
