Isethionic acid, also known as 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, is an organic compound with the formula HOCH2CH2SO3H. It is a colorless, water-soluble solid. Isethionic acid is a strong acid and is used as a surfactant, a stabilizer, and a chemical intermediate. It is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and detergents. Isethionic acid can be synthesized by the reaction of ethylene oxide with sulfurous acid. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications, including its use as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Isethionic acid is also being investigated for its potential use in the development of new battery technologies.'
