Is the sulfonation reaction completely over? Sulfur trioxide pyridine gentle rate control without failure
Friday, 04 September 2026
In traditional sulfonation reactions, reagents such as chlorosulfonic acid, fuming sulfuric acid, and liquid sulfur trioxide are highly corrosive, prone to moisture absorption, and react violently. These not only pose significant operational risks but also often lead to issues like over-sulfonation and functional group degradation—particularly in pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemical synthesis, where “excessive sulfonation”
