Abstract

Abstract The sulfation and sulfonation of the methyl-and dimethylphenols with 0.9 and 4.0 equiv. of SO 3 in nitromethane at 0 C have been studied. On using 0.9 equiv. of SO 3, the sulfonic acid product distributions are determined by the ortho-and para-directing effect of the activating hydroxy substituent. In the reactions with 4.0 equiv. of SO 3, the sulfonic acid product distributions are affected by the predominant initial formation and the subsequent ...
