Storage
Store at room temperature, in container tightly sealed ; Protect from light. Store in a dry place at 16° for a long time. The product is easy to absorb moisture and needs to be stored with desiccant.
Known Application
- Organic synthesis – strong dehydration condensation agent
Esterification reaction Activate carboxyl to accelerate ester formation
Peptide bond formation Mildly catalyze amino acid condensation
Sulfonylation protecting group Introduce -SO₂Tol group to protect amino/hydroxyl groups - Synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates
Antiviral drugs, synthesis of acyclovir side chain Reaction yield increased>15%(compared with methanesulfonyl chloride method)
Antitumor drugs, construction of temozolomide pyrimidine ring Avoid the use of highly toxic phosgene
Antibiotics, modification of β-lactam ring C3 position Selectivity>90%(such as cefixime precursor) - Polymer material modification
Polyester catalyst Replacement of antimony oxide (reducing heavy metals) Material transmittance↑8%, melting point stability improved
Epoxy resin curing accelerator Activate curing reaction at low temperature (60℃) Curing time shortened40%
Ionic liquid synthesis Preparation of sulfonic acid ionic liquid Conductivity≥15 mS/cm(fuel cell electrolyte)
Key reaction characteristics
- Reaction activity is higher than p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, shortening the reaction time
- Selectivity, preferentially reacting with primary alcohols/primary amines to reduce secondary group side reactions
- Byproduct, water-soluble toluenesulfonic acid is generated, which is easy to separate and purify
- Stability, needs to be stored in a dry and sealed state (decomposed in water), and operation requires strict humidity control
