Derivative Type: Isethionate
CAS Registry Number: 533-22-2
Molecular Formula: C20H28N4O9S2
Molecular Weight: 532.59
Percent Composition: C 45.10%, H 5.30%, N 10.52%, O 27.04%, S 12.04%
Properties: Yellow crystals, discolored by light, mp 286° (dec). Freely sol in water. Soly in alcohol ~1.0 g/100 ml. Practically insol in ether. pH of a 1% aq soln 3.3 to 5.3. Solns show strong yellow fluorescence under uv light. Solns should be freshly prepared. Although the hydroxy compd is more stable in soln, such solns should not be stored and must not be used if cloudy.
