Benzaldehyde-2-Sulfonic Acid Sodium Salt is a polar molecule that can be useful as a chemical intermediate for laboratory synthesis.  The electron-withdrawing sulfoxide and methoxy groups serve to draw electron density heavily towards one side of the molecule, leaving the opposite side of the benzene ring highly polarized and ready to undergo electrophilic addition reactions from other electron-donating molecules.  This functionality makes Benzaldehyde-2-Sulfonic Acid a highly useful reagent in the synthesis of other specialty chemical derivatives and intermediates.
