Since its discovery in 1854, chlorosulfonic acid has demonstrated
that it is a truly versatile reagent. It is widely used as a
sulfonating and chlorosulfonating agent, particularly of organic
compounds, and it provides useful synthetic intermediates for many
branches of industry. This book provides a detailed, up to date
account of the reactions of chlorosulfonic acid with aliphatic,
aromatic and heterocyclic compounds; reactions with elements and
inorganic compounds are also discussed, along with the use of the
reagent as a powerful acid catalyst, and halogenation and
dehydrating agent. Finally, the commercial uses and manufacture of
chlorosulfonic acid are reviewed. The detailed coverage in this
book, coupled with the many references to recent work, will ensure
that it is welcomed as a reference by synthetic chemists in, for
example, the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, plastic and detergent
industries. Researchers and their students in academia will also
find it a valuable addition to their bookshelves.
An Introduction to Organosulfur Chemistry R J Cremlyn Professor of
Organic Chemistry, University of Hertfordshire The physical and
chemical properties of sulfur and the nature of the sulfur-carbon
and sulfur-oxygen bonds are important factors in the widespread
uses of organosulfur compounds as bioactive agents, in both
medicine and agricultural pest control strategies. Other industrial
uses of organosulfur compounds, including detergents, dyes,
medicinal drugs, pesticides and artificial sweeteners, are also
covered. Providing an easy to read, balanced review of this
increasingly important area, An Introduction to Organosulfur
Chemistry
* outlines the role of sulfur in biological systems
* surveys the special characteristics of organosulfur compounds
and the major methods for their synthesis
* provides an insight into the differences between organosulfur
and the analogous oxygen compounds
* identifies the unique features of organosulfur compounds and
their varied uses both in industry and as key reagents in organic
synthesis
