Description
Application
Methyl methanesulfonate is used in organic synthesis pharmaceutical research and molecular biology. It is also used as a laboratory reagent for studying DNA damage and mutation because it can alkylate DNA bases.
Purpose
The main purpose of methyl methanesulfonate is to introduce methyl groups into chemical compounds particularly in research involving chemical synthesis and DNA modification.
General Description
Methyl methanesulfonate is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid. It is a highly reactive alkylating agent and is considered hazardous because it can cause genetic mutations and serious health effects so it must be handled under appropriate laboratory safety controls.
