Colorful salts

Bunte salts are a group of organic-chemical ionic sulfur compounds with the general formula R – S – SO ₃ M. R is an organyl radical (usually an alkyl radical ) and M is a monovalent metal . In the Bunte salt originally discovered by Hans Bunte (1848–1925), R was an ethyl radical and M stood for sodium.

Manufacturing

Bunte salts can be easily produced from haloalkanes and sodium thiosulphate and are intermediate products in organic chemical syntheses .

For example, the reaction of Bunte salts with alkali metal cyanide (e.g. sodium cyanide ) produces organic thiocyanates .
