para -Toluenesulfonic acid chloride is a chemical compound from the group of sulfonic acids . It is the acid chloride of para- toluenesulfonic acid and is colloquially often referred to as tosyl chloride, written TsCl. The abbreviation “Ts” stands for a tosyl group .
presentation
The compound can be prepared from toluene by a reaction similar to Friedel-Crafts alkylation . For this purpose, toluene is reacted with sulfuryl chloride and aluminum chloride as a catalyst .
Another possibility is the conversion of para- methylaniline in a Sandmeyer -like reaction. To do this, the amine is first diazotized with sodium nitrite . The resulting diazonium salt is then reacted with sulfur dioxide in the presence of copper (I) chloride and magnesium chloride .
Tosyl chloride is a waste product from saccharine production. In addition to the o- toluenesulphonyl chloride required for this, the p -toluenesulphonyl chloride is also produced here, which is sold as a fine chemical after separation from one another.
properties
para -Toluenesulfonic acid chloride is a corrosive solid with a characteristic peculiar odor, which melts at 67 ° C and boils at 135 ° C at a pressure of 13 hPa. It decomposes from a temperature of 220 ° C. A DSC measurement shows a strongly exothermic decomposition reaction from 249 ° C with an exothermicity of −451 kJ kg −1 or −86 kJ mol −1 .
use
Tosylates can be produced by deprotonating an alcohol and then reacting with p -toluenesulphonic acid chloride, whereby one equivalent of hydrogen chloride , which is bound as a hydrochloride by a base , is formed:
Due to their property as a leaving group, tosylates are used as intermediates in preparative organic chemistry . By converting alcohols into tosylates, the poor leaving group HO - is converted into a good leaving group, which enables substitution reactions at this position on the carbon structure. The anion (= tosylate ) of p -toluenesulfonic acid emerges as a leaving group .
