2-Bromoethanesulfonic acid sodium salt is an organic sulfonic acid derivative used primarily as an alkylating (2-sulfoethylating) agent in organic synthesis, where bromide acts as the leaving group so that a sulfoethyl group is attached to nucleophiles, for example in the preparation of taurine derivatives and coenzyme M (mesna). As BES, it is also widely used as a coenzyme M analogue that inhibits methanogenesis. It is also employed in biochemical research for selective functionalization and as a reagent in peptide chemistry. This chemical has a CAS number of 4263-52-9, with the molecular formula C2H4BrNaO3S and a molecular weight of 211.01 g/mol. It is stable at ambient storage conditions and carries a signal word of "Warning" under standard handling guidelines. Molekula supplies 2-Bromoethanesulfonic acid sodium salt from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
