Poly alkane sulfonates

Poly(vinyl nitrate) has been prepared and studied for use in explosives and rocket fuel (104,105). Poly(vinyl alcohol) and sulfur trioxide react to produce poly(vinyl sulfate) (106—111). Poly(vinyl alkane sulfonate)s have been prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) and alkanesulfonyl chlorides (112—114). In the presence of urea, poly(vinyl alcohol) and phosphoms pentoxide (115) or phosphoric acid (116,117) yield poly(vinyl phosphate)s. 

Sodium alkane sulfonates are hygroscopic and therefore they have to be shipped in sealed waterproof packages. They are also available in the trade as ca. 35% solutions or 60-70% pastes. These consists of ca. 90% monosulfonate, ca. 10% di- and poly sulfonates, and very small amounts of NaCl and neutral oil. 

Alkane sulfonates are applied in a widespread manner in emulsion polymerization. They are used as processing aids, in particular in the emulsion polymerization of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, styrene and acrylonitrile. Because they possess no double bonds, alkane sulfonates do not act as radical chain stoppers. Well-known lattices derived from emulsion polymerization are poly(vinyl chloride), ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers, polyacrylates, and butadiene and chloroprene rubbers. Alkane sulfonates also offer good stabilizing effects in lattices against coagulation by fillers. 

In the sulfonic acid form, poly( o-(3-thienyl)alkane-sulfonates) are auto-doped and exhibit conductivities of 5 X 10 —10 S cm [9]. The sulfonic acid derivatives prossessed considerable stability and exhibited an enhanced lifetime in their conductive state compared to conductive films obtained by oxidative doping using inorganic oxidants. Auto-doped materials can be further oxidized with oxidizing agents to increase their conductivity by an order of magnitude but the stability of the oxidized form is considerably diminished. 

It has been also found that PhIO as an oxidant in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulfonated manganese and iron porphyrin supported on poly(vinylpyridinium) polymers in olefin epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation is a better oxidant than Bu4NHS05 °. Oxidation of adamantane to 1-adamantanol in good yield using BU4NHSO5 and acetone in the presence of aqueous NaHCOs was also reported . ...
