Description
2-Hydroxyethane-1-sulfonic acid is a low-molecular-weight hydroxy sulfonic acid for laboratory and biochemical applications. It is identified by CAS number 107-36-8, corresponds to the empirical formula C₂H₆O₄S and has a molar mass of 126,13 g/mol. The stated density is 1,344 g/cm³, supporting accurate mass-to-volume planning where liquid handling or density-based calculations are required. The molecule combines a primary hydroxyl function with a sulfonic acid group, which is of interest in synthesis, buffer-related chemistry and specialty reagent preparation. This offering is, convenient for method development, small-scale synthesis and controlled laboratory consumption. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned in the biochemicals range with transparent physicochemical identifiers for traceability. UN number 2586 is associated with the product in the manufacturer data, aiding logistics and internal hazard communication. Research and analytical laboratories can rely on the stated CAS, formula, molar mass and density when specifying 2-hydroxyethane-1-sulfonic acid for experimental work.

Questions about 2-Hydroxyethane-1-sulfonic acid, 50 g
What is this article?
2-Hydroxyethane-1-sulfonic acid, 50 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
