Methanesulfinamide Stability and Synthesis

Hello All, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has information on the stability of methanesulfinamide (SMILES: C[S](=O)N([H])[H]), as well as it's stability in water. Thank you.

Hi Nancy, I don't know too much about sufinamides but expect that they, like carboxamides, are relatively stable derivatives of sulfinic acids. I expect it will depend a lot on what you plan to do with it, though. You can always create a solution and see if it decomposes over whatever time frame you are considering for its usage.

Hi Nancy, This is not a Chimera question -- better to ask on CCL.net or some other chemistry-related forum. Also, why not look in chemical databases such as PubChem? Here is the PubChem entry for this compound, it was not hard to find: <http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=11115980> ...or even googling, here's another: <http://www.chemsink.com/compound/11115980/> Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
