6 Alkyl Sulfonates and Sulfates 2.6.1 Alkyl Sulfonic Acids and Sulfonates 

Compared with sulfate, the S atom of alkyl sulfonate is directly linked with the C atom of alkyl. 

The main synthetic routes of alkyl sulfonic acids and sulfonates are introduced as follows  

For example, alkyl sulfonate can be synthesized under ultraviolet radiation by adopting saturated hydrocarbon, SO2, and CI2 as raw materials. The reactions can be given by the following
