CH OfiSj, H2C(S03H)2- a colourless, crystalline solid which readily absorbs water vapour decomposes on distillation. The potassium salt is prepared by heating methylene chloride with an aqueous solution of potassium sulphite under pressure at 150-I60" C. The free acid is obtained by decomposing the sparingly soluble barium salt with sulphuric acid. The aryl esters are very stable, but the alkyl esters decompose on heating to give ethers. Resembles malonic acid in some of its reactions. 

This direct sulphonation should be compared with the indirect methods for the preparation of aliphatic sulphonic acids, e.g., oxidation of a thiol (RSH -> RSOjH), and interaction of an alkyl halide with sodium sulphite to give the sodium sulphonate (RBr + Na,SO, -> RSO,Na + NaBr). 

The presence of sulphur may indicate a sulphate of an organic base, alkyl sulphate, sulphite, sulphide, incrcaptan, sulphonit and, bisulphite unnpound of aldehyde or ketone. 

Gramstad and coworkers78 studied the formation of association complexes between CHC13 and N, N-disubstituted amides, four alkyl sulphoxides and diethyl sulphite in CC14 by following the JH NMR. The association constants (Afass) were determined by equation ll79,... 

The carbanions take up 02 and these take up protons to give hydroperoxides in good yields. But because they are explosive in nature, they are not usually isolated and on reduction with sodium sulphite on trialkyl phosphite give alcohols. Alcohols can also be prepared via hydroperoxy molybdenum complexes and alkyl boranes. These reactions are summarized as follows ... 

Di-2-pyridyl sulphite (343) (from 2-pyridone and thionyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine) transforms primary aliphatic and aromatic amines RNH2 into N-sulphinylamines RN=S=0 and it dehydrates amides ArCONH2 to aryl cyanides, aldehyde oximes RCH=NOH (R = Cxlf 7. 4-MeOCgH4 or PhCH=CH) to the cyanides RCN and A-alkyl- and TV-ary Iformamides RNHCHO to isocyanides RNC. Aliphatic and aromatic... 

Amino-l,2,4-triazole was alkylated with 4-nitrobenzyl bromide by simply refluxing the mixture in isopropanol to give SO in excellent yield. The aminotriazole SO was deaminated with NaNOa in aqueous HCI and the nitro group was reduced with ammonium formate catalyzed by 10% Pd/C to deliver 47 in an improved yield over the route shown in Scheme 17. Diazotization of 47, reduction of the diazonium salt with sodium sulphite and Fischer indolization of the resulting hydrazine with 4-( /, /-dimethylamino)butanol dimethyl acetal was performed in a single step to afford rizatriptan (4) in 45% yield. 

On the other hand, much stronger evidence is available in favour of the earlier formula,4 which accords well with the relationship between the acid and the polythionic acids.5 The formation of sodium thiosulphate by Spring s synthesis from sodium sulphide and sodium sulphite (p. 194) is definitely favourable to this constitution, as also especially is the fact that an alkali thiosulphate will react with only an equimoleeular proportion of an organic (alkyl) halide,6 the product... 

Isobutyraldehyde is another reagent that has been applied to condensation with amino acids [261 ]. The reaction of methyl ester hydrochlorides of amino acids with isobutyraldehyde and sodium hydrogen sulphite proceeds in a solution of sodium carbonate according to Scheme 5.23. The azomethines produced were chromatographed either as such or as N.-alkyl esters after reduction with zinc powder in methanolic hydrogen chloride. N-Isobutylidene methyl esters of most of amino acids, except His, Arg, Trp,... 

The reaction of lithium enolates with molecular oxygen has been used for the a-hydroxylation of several substrates. The carbanion generated in the reaction of N,N-dialkylamides or esters with alkyl lithium reagents undergoes rapid oxidation under mild conditions when treated with molecular oxygen. The reaction produces an a-hydroperoxide intermediate which is cleanly reduced with sodium sulphite to the a-hydroxo derivatives" (equation 1). 

Many unsaturated chloro- and bromo-hydrocarbons and many polychloro and polybromo compounds decompose by radical-chain mechanisms, but only the chloro compounds have been studied in reasonable detail, presumably owing to the complex nature of the chain reactions in the case of the bromo compounds. Other examples of compounds which undergo radical-chain decompositions are 2,2-dichlorodiethyl ether oxalyl chloride alkyl hypochlorites alkyl peroxychloroformates and alkyl chloro-sulphites in the gas phase ... 

Nitrosolysis of camphor ethyl acetal with ethanolic ethyl nitrite in sulphur dioxide yields the orthoester oxime (205) which is rapidly dehydrated by excess acetal to the orthoester nitrile which then reacts with sulphur dioxide to form the ester nitrile and diethyl sulphite.Further papers in this section include the full paper on ozonolysis of silyl ethers (Vol. 5, p. 33), another synthesis of camphor-enol trimethylsilyl ether (cf. Vol. 6, p. 41)/°° the conversion of camphor oxime with Grignard reagents into the corresponding imine with no aziridine formation/° the preparation of (206) by treating bornylene with trichloroacetyl isocyanate/ the oxidation of thiocam-phor to the 5-oxide and alkylation in the presence of thallium(i) ethoxide to a/S-unsaturated sulphoxides/ and the free-radical C-3 alkylation of camphor with alkenes. " ... 

The esters of a number of inorganic acids are known. Those derived from the strong acids may be prepared directly from the acid and alcohol. In the case of the weak acids the esters can be prepared as the result of the interaction of the silver salt of the acid with an alkyl halide for example, ethyl sulphite may be made by the reaction expressed by the equation,... 

As this method is not a practical one, the sulphonic acids are usually prepared by the action of sulphites on alkyl halides —... 

Synthetic Aspects.— The extraction of reaction mixtures with aqueous sodium hydrogen sulphite has been advocated as a mild procedure for the efficient removal of norbornenone and norbornenol impurities.Deuteriated olefins can be efficiently synthesized from the corresponding arenesulphonylhydrazones. The reaction of R R CHC(R ) NNHS02Ar with an alkyl-lithium in tetramethylethylenediamine produces R R C (CR which, upon quenching with water (or D 2 O), is converted into olefin R R C=CHR (or R R C=CDR ). Treatment of the sulphonylhydrazone derived from camphor by this method gave (442) in quantitative yield with a 95 % [ H2] analysis. ...
