methanesulfonates การใช้

Methanesulfonates are occasionally used as a protecting group for alcohols.
The simplest organic sulfonyl chloride, it is used to make methanesulfonates and to generate the elusive molecule sulfene.
Salts and esters of methanesulfonic acid are known as mesylates ( or methanesulfonates, as in ethyl methanesulfonate ).
The anhydrous salt is formed by water loss at 120 癈 . Similar methanesulfonates can be prepared with other lanthanides.
Due to the high standard electrode potentials of both zinc and cerium redox reactions in aqueous media, the open-circuit cell voltage is as high as 2.43 V . Methanesulfonic acid is used as supporting electrolyte, as it allows high concentrations of both zinc and cerium; the solubility of the corresponding methanesulfonates is 2.1 M for Zn, 2.4 M for Ce ( III ) and up to 1.0 M for Ce ( IV ).
