Sulfones nitration

Anthraquinone can be sulfonated, nitrated, or halogenated. Sulfonation is of the greatest technical importance because the sulfonic acid group can be readily replaced by an amino or chloro group. Sulfonation with 20—25% oleum at a temperature of 130—135°C produces predominandy anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid [84-48-0]. By the use of a stronger oleum, disulfonic acids are produced. The second sulfonic acid substituent never enters the same ring a mixture of 2,6- and 2,7-disulfonic acids is formed (Wayne-Armstrong rule). In order to sulfonate in the 1-, 1,5-, or 1,8-positions, mercury or one of its salts must be used as a catalyst. 

The control of chemical reactions (e.g., esterification, sulfonation, nitration, alkylation, polymerization, oxidation, reduction, halogenation) and associated hazards are an essential aspect of chemical manufacture in the CPI. The industries manufacture nearly all their products, such as inorganic, organic, agricultural, polymers, and pharmaceuticals, through the control of reactive chemicals. The reactions that occur are generally without incident. Barton and Nolan [1] examined exothermic runaway incidents and found that the principal causes were ... 

The sulfonation-nitration strategy also provides a route to styphnic acid (5) (2,4,6-trinitroresorcinol) from resorcinol (22) but the control of temperature in this reaction is very important. The synthesis of styphnic acid (5) from the nitration of 2,4-dinitroresorcinol (24) with mixed acid or concentrated nitric acid is a higher yielding route. 2,4-Dinitroresorcinol (24) is conveniently prepared from the nitrosation of resorcinol (22) followed by oxidation of the resulting 2,4-dinitrosoresorcinol (23) with dilute nitric acid. 2,4-Dinitrosoresorcinol (23) also generates styphnic acid (5) on treatment with concentrated nitric acid. ... 

Gas-liquid reactions form an integral part of the production of many bulk and specialty chemicals, such as the dissolution of gases for oxidations, chlorin-ations, sulfonations, nitrations, and hydrogenations. When the gaseous reactant must be transferred to the liquid phase, mass transfer can become the rate-limiting step. In this case, the use of high-intensity mixers (motionless mixers or ejectors) can increase the reaction rate. Conversely, for slow reactions a coarse dispersion of gas, as produced by a bubble column, will suffice. Because a large variety of equipment is available (bubble columns, sieve trays, stirred tanks, motionless mixers, ejectors, loop reactors, etc.), a criterion for equipment selection can be established and is dictated by the required rate of mass transfer between the phases.

Alkali fusion brings about the replacement of a sulfo group in an aromatic nucleus by hydroxyl, and thus affords a synthesis for numerous technically important phenols and phenol derivatives. Particularly in the naphthalene series, alkali fusion ts one of the most frequently used operations, along with sulfonation, nitration, and reduction. 

The fine chemicals industry, with its roots in coal-tar chemistry, positively abounds with processes involving classical, stoichiometric technologies, e.g. sulfonation, nitration, chlorination, bromination, diazotization, Friedel-Crafts... 

In arene complexes, there is a charge transfer from the ring to the metal. Therefore, coordinated arenes undergo electrophilic substitutions with greater difficulty than free arenes. Owing to the sensitivity to acids and easy oxidation of bisarene complexes, it has not been possible to perform sulfonation, nitration, and mercuration. However, the acylation reaction of chromium derivatives [Cr(arene)(CO)3] can be carried out ... 

Studies of electrophilic substitutions on arenes are reported in which the experimental conditions allow a direct comparison of the relative reaction rates. For example, the relative reactivities of benzene and toluene toward halogenation, acetylation, sulfonation, nitration, and methylation have been determined. In all cases, electrophilic aromatic substitution was more rapid with toluene. For example, bromina-tion of toluene is some 600 times faster than that of benzene. Such studies have led to the classification of substituents as ring activators or deactivators, depending on whether the substituted arene reacts faster or slower than benzene itself. Thus, the methyl group of toluene is a ring activator. 

Electrophilic substitution at the 2- and 6-positions is mainly achieved by sulfonation, nitration, palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization, halogenation reactions and formylation (Scheme 7.4). Formylation has been demonstrated to be a good platform for further functionalization of the BODIPY core at the p-position.
