3-Toluenesulfonyl chloride - Introduction
m-Toluenesulphonyl chloride (English name p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride) is an organic compound. It is represented by the chemical formula C7H7ClO2S, which is formed by the reaction of toluene sulfonic acid and thionyl chloride.
m-Toluenesulphonyl chloride is a colorless or yellowish liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, diethyl ether and dichloromethane, but insoluble in water.
m-Toluenesulphonyl chloride is often used as sulfonylation reagent and chlorination reagent in organic synthesis. It can convert hydroxyl groups (-OH) into sulfonyloxy groups (-SO2Cl), thereby introducing more active groups, which are used in the synthesis of organic compounds such as drugs, dyes and pesticides. In addition, it can also be used to synthesize aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines and Aromatic ketones.
When preparing m-Toluenesulphonyl chloride, the product can be obtained by reacting toluene sulfonic acid with thionyl chloride under appropriate conditions, usually heating and stirring at room temperature for several hours, and then cooling, crystallization and filtration.
m-Toluenesulphonyl chloride is irritating and corrosive, care should be taken to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Personal protective equipment such as protective gloves, goggles and protective clothing should be worn during use or operation. In addition, keep away from fire and oxidant when stored, and avoid contact with combustibles and combustible gases. If inhaled or ingested by mistake, seek medical attention immediately.
