Chlorosulfonic acid preparation

Intermediate formation of formyl chloride is not necessary since the actual alkylating agent, HCO", can be produced by protonation of carbon monoxide or its complexes. However, it is difficult to obtain an equimolar mixture of anhydrous hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide. Suitable laboratory preparations involve the reaction of chlorosulfonic acid with formic acid or the reaction of ben2oyl chloride with formic acid ... 

Phthalocyanine sulfonic acids, which can be used as direct cotton dyes (1), are obtained by heating the metal phthalocyanines in oleum. One to four sulfo groups can be introduced in the 4-position by varying concentration, temperature, and reaction time (103). Sulfonyl chlorides, which are important intermediates, can be prepared from chlorosulfonic acid and phthalocyanines (104). The positions of the sulfonyl chloride groups are the same as those of the sulfonic acids (103). Other derivatives, eg, chlormethylphthalocyanines (105—107), / /f-butyl (108—111), amino (112), ethers (109,110,113—116), thioethers (117,118), carboxyl acids (119—122), esters (123), cyanides (112,124—127), and nitrocompounds (126), can be synthesized. 

An example of a sulfite ester made from thionyl chloride is the commercial iasecticide endosulfan [115-29-7]. A stepwise reaction of thionyl chloride with two different alcohols yields the commercial miticide, propaigite [2312-35-8] (189). Thionyl chloride also has appHcations as a co-reactant ia sulfonations and chlorosulfonations. A patent describes the use of thionyl chloride ia the preparation of a key iatermediate, bis(4-chlorophenyl) sulfone [80-07-9] which is used to make a commercial polysulfone engineering thermoplastic (see Polymers CONTAINING SULFUR, POLYSULFONe) (190). The sulfone group is derived from chlorosulfonic acid the thionyl chloride may be considered a co-reactant which removes water (see Sulfolanes and sulfones). 

Sulfonation. Benzene is converted iato benzenesulfonic acid [98-11-3] C H SO, upon reaction with fuming sulfuric acid (oleum) or chlorosulfonic acid. y -Benzenedisulfonic acid [98-48-6] CgHgS20, is prepared by reaction of benzene-sulfonic acid with oleum for 8 h at 85°C. Often under these conditions, appreciable quantities ofT -benzenedisulfonic acid [31375-02-7] are produced. 1,3,5-Benzenetrisulfonic acid [617-99-2] C H S Og, is produced by heating the disulfonic acid with oleum at 230°C (21). 

In cases where a large excess of acid is undesirable, chlorosulfonic acid is employed. An excess of chlorosulfonic acid leads to the introduction of a chlorosulfonyl group which is a useful synthon for the preparation of sulfonamides and sulfonate esters. 

The hydrolysis of ethyl acetate, prepared by the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid under pressure (154), and the hydrolysis of the ethyl ester of chlorosulfonic acid (155) have been considered and found to be of Httie industrial importance. 

Keep away from organic matter as it is a STRONG OXIDANT. A detailed prepn of Caro s acid (hypersulfuric acid, HiSOs, [7722-86-3]) in crystalline form m -45° from H2O2 and chlorosulfonic acid was described by Feh6r in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Vol I p. 388 1963. 

Bischloromethyl ether has been prepared by saturation of formalin with dry hydrogen chloride by the reaction of paraformaldehyde with phosphorus trichloride or phosphorus oxychloride, by solution of paraformaldehyde in concentrated sulfuric acid and treatment with ammonium chloride or dry hydrogen chloride, and by suspension of paraformaldehyde in seventy or eighty percent sulfuric acid and treatment with chlorosulfonic acid. It is formed together with the asymmetrical isomer when methyl ether is chlorinated and when paraformaldehyde is treated with chlorosulfonic acid. The present method has been published. ... 

Other direct methods for the sulfonation of the higher fatty acids are by the use of sulfur trioxide vapor or by the use of chlorosulfonic acid. Indirect methods are also available for the preparation of a-sulfo fatty acids and their salts from an a-bromo fatty acid made by the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction. The bromo compound may be converted directly to the sodium salt of a sulfonic acid through the Strecker reaction or may be converted to the mercaptan and oxidized to the sulfonate. Sulfonation of the lower fatty acids has been studied by Backer and co-workers. ... 

Due to the abundance of epoxides, they are ideal precursors for the preparation of P-amino alcohols. In one case, ring-opening of 2-methyl-oxirane (18) with methylamine resulted in l-methylamino-propan-2-ol (19), which was transformed to 1,2-dimethyl-aziridine (20) in 30-35% yield using the Wenker protocol. Interestingly, l-amino-3-buten-2-ol sulfate ester (23) was prepared from l-amino-3-buten-2-ol (22, a product of ammonia ring-opening of vinyl epoxide 21) and chlorosulfonic acid. Treatment of sulfate ester 23 with NaOH then led to aziridine 24. ... 

The preparation of a-iodocarboxylic acids is of particular interest, since iodide is a better leaving group as is chloride or bromide. A similar a-iodination with a phosphorus trihalide as catalyst is not known. However the iodination can be achieved in the presence of chlorosulfonic acid mechanistically the intermediate formation of a ketene 10 by dehydration of the carboxylic acid is assumed ... 

Aj Preparation of 5-Trifluoromethylaniline-2,4-Disulfonylchloride— H ml of chlorosulfonic acid Is cooled in an ice bath, and to the acid is added dropwise while stirring 26.6 grams of a,a,a-trifluoro-m-toluidine. 105 grams of sodium chloride is added during 1-2 hours, whereafter the temperature of the reaction mixture is raised slowly to 150°-160°C which temperature is maintained for three hours. After cooling the mixture, ice-cooled water is added, whereby 5-trifluoromethylaniline-2,4-disulfonyl chloride separates out from the mixture. 

Preparation of Disodium 4,4 -Disu/foxy-Dipheny/-(2-Pyridyl)-Methane In % hour, 102 g chlorosulfonic acid are added to a solution of 100 g 4,4 -dihydroxydiphenyl-(2-pyridyl)-methane in 750 ml of anhydrous pyridine, the temperature being maintained at between 0° and 5°C. Towards the end of the addition of acid, a precipitate is formed which is slowly redissolved during subsequent agitation. 

B) Preparation of 4-Amino-2-Chloro-5-(Methylsulfamyl)Benzenesulfonamide The 5-sub-stituted-2,4-dlsulfamyl anilines may be prepared by procedures described in the literature, for example, the general procedures in Monatsch. Chem. vol. 48, p 87 (1927), which involves the treatment of a m-substituted aniline with from 10 to 20 parts by weight of chlorosulfonic acid followed by the gradual addition of from about 90 to 170 parts by weight of sodium chloride. The resultant mixture is heated at approximately 150°C for about 2 hours after which the reaction mixture is poured into water and the resultant 5-substituted aniline-2,4-disulfonyl chloride is filtered and is then treated with concentrated ammonium hydroxide or suitable amine by standard procedures to obtain the corresponding disulfonamide. 

A novel, mild system for the direct nitration of calixarenes has been developed using potassium nitrate and aluminum chloride at low temperature. The side products of decomposition formed under conventional conditions are not observed in this system, and the p-nitro-calixarenes are isolated in 75-89% yields.17 Such Friedel-Crafts-type nitration using nitryl chloride and aluminum chloride affords a convenient system for aromatic nitration.18 Nitryl chloride was previously prepared either by the oxidation of nitrosyl chloride or by the reaction of chlorosulfonic acid with nitric acid. However, these procedures are inconvenient and dangerous. Recently, a mixture of sodium nitrate and trimethysilyl chloride (TMSC1) has been developed as a convenient method for the in situ generation of nitryl chloride (Eq. 2.6).

Scheme 2 shows preparation of the biftinctional fiber. PPPE-c and PPPE-f grafted with CMS and ST were functionalized by the reported method.6 Here, an example of functionalization procedures is described. The precursory fibers (PPPE-f grafted with CMS and ST, 2 g) and triethyl phosphite (60 ml) were taken into a three-necked flask (200 ml) equipped with a Liebig condenser. After the mixture in the flask was heated for 48 h at 100 °C, the resulting phosphorylated PPPE-f was washed with acetone, aceton-water mixture and water, and dried in vacuum oven at 40 °C. In order to introduce sulfonic acid groups, the phosphorylated PPPE-f was treated with a 30 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane solution of chlorosulfonic acid (10 wt %) for 2 h at room temperature. Finally, diethyl phosphonate groups on the fibers were hydrolyzed with 12 M hydrochloric acid under refluxed...
