Sulfonates hydroxyl groups

Alkyl sulfonates are derivatives of sulfonic acids m which the proton of the hydroxyl group is replaced by an alkyl group They are prepared by treating an alcohol with the appropriate sulfonyl chloride usually m the presence of pyridine... 

Sodium Bisulfite. Sodium bisulfite [7631-90-5] NaHSO, is occasionally used to perform simultaneous reduction of a nitro group to an amine and the addition of a sulfonic acid group. For example, 4-amino-3-hydroxyl-l-naphthalenesulfonic acid [116-63-2] C qH NO S, is manufactured from 2-naphthol in a process which uses sodium bisulfite (59). The process involves nitrosation of 2-naphthol in aqueous medium, followed by addition of sodium bisulfite and acidification with sulfuric acid. 

The aromatic nature of lignin contrasts with the aliphatic stmcture of the carbohydrates and permits the selective use of electrophilic substitution reactions, eg, chlorination, sulfonation, or nitration. A portion of the phenoUc hydroxyl units, which are estimated to comprise 30 wt % of softwood lignin, are unsubstituted. In alkaline systems the ionized hydroxyl group is highly susceptible to oxidative reactions. 

Sulfonate Esters. Sucrose sulfonates are valuable intermediates for the synthesis of epoxides and derivatives containing halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur. In addition, the sulfonation reaction has been used to determine the relative reactivity of the hydroxyl groups in sucrose. The general order of reactivity in sucrose toward the esterification reaction is OH-6 OH-6 > OH-1 > HO-2. 

Cationic, anionic, and amphoteric surfactants derive thek water solubiUty from thek ionic charge, whereas the nonionic hydrophile derives its water solubihty from highly polar terminal hydroxyl groups. Cationic surfactants perform well in polar substrates like styrenics and polyurethane. Examples of cationic surfactants ate quaternary ammonium chlorides, quaternary ammonium methosulfates, and quaternary ammonium nitrates (see QuARTERNARY AMMONIUM compounds). Anionic surfactants work well in PVC and styrenics. Examples of anionic surfactants ate fatty phosphate esters and alkyl sulfonates. 

Certain dyes when appHed by the afterchrome method are oxidized prior to metal complex formation. Examples iaclude. Chromotrope EB [3567-69-9] (52) (Cl Acid Red 14 Cl 14720) (naphthionic acid — l-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid) ia which a hydroxyl group is iatroduced by oxidation at the... 

The reactive dyes approved by the FDA are either dichloro-j -tria2ines or sulfatoethyl sulfones, termed vinyl sulfones. Both groups react with pendent hydroxyl groups on the polymer matrix. 

Azolesulfonic acids frequently exist as zwitterions. The usual derivatives are formed, e.g. pyrazole-3-, -4- and -5-sulfonic acids all give sulfonyl chlorides with PCI5. The sulfonic acid group can be replaced by nucleophiles under more or less vigorous conditions, e.g. by hydroxyl in imidazole-4-sulfonic acids at 170 °C, and by hydroxyl or amino in thiazole-2-sulfonic acids. 

Figure 14 shows the ATR spectrum of the etched polyethylene surface treated with a chronic acid group [76]. Absorption bands due to surface treatment appear at 3300, 1700, 1260, 1215, and 1050 cm". The band at 3300 cm represents the absorption due to the hydroxyl group and that at 1700 cm " is due to the carbonyl group. The bands at 1260, 1215, and 1050 cm are all due to the alkyl sulfonate group. 

The hydroxyl group is a strongly activating, ortho- and para-directing substituent in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions (Section 16.4). As a result, phenols are highly reactive substrates for electrophilic halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, and lTiedel-Crafts reactions. 

Scheme 4 outlines the synthesis of key intermediate 7 in its correct absolute stereochemical form from readily available (S)-(-)-malic acid (15). Simultaneous protection of the contiguous carboxyl and secondary hydroxyl groups in the form of an acetonide proceeds smoothly with 2,2 -dimethoxypropane and para-toluene-sulfonic acid and provides intermediate 26 as a crystalline solid in 75-85 % yield. Chemoselective reduction of the terminal carboxyl group in 26 with borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (B H3 THF) affords a primary hydroxyl group that attacks the proximal carbonyl group, upon acidification, to give a hydroxybutyrolactone.

Sodium hydroxyalkanesulfonates may be determined in the presence of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, including sodium alkenesulfonate. The sulfonates are converted to the free sulfonic acids using a slight excess of 2,4-dinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid. The hydroxyl group of the sulfonic acid liberated is acetylated in ethyl acetate solution by a known excess of acetic anhydride. The unconsumed anhydride is hydrolyzed by a pyridine-water mixture and the acids titrated potentiometrically with standard sodium hydroxide solution. The hydroxy-alkanesulfonate content is calculated after correction for any traces of acidity or alkalinity in the original sample.

Anionic galactomannans, which are derived from guar gum, in which the hydroxyl groups are partially esterified with sulfonate groups that result from 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and l-allyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl sulfonic acid [1872], have been claimed to be suitable as thickeners. The composition is capable of producing enhanced viscosities, when used either alone or in combination with a cationic polymer and distributed in a solvent.
