In organic chemistry, aromatic sulfonation is an reaction in which a hydrogen atom on an arene is replaced by a sulfonic acid (−SO 2 OH) group. Together with nitration and chlorination, aromatic sulfonation is a widely used electrophilic aromatic substitutions. [1] Aryl sulfonic acids are used as detergents, dye, and drugs.
Molecular models of the different molecules active in Piranha solution: peroxysulfuric acid (H 2 SO 5) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2).
The sodium fusion extract is made alkaline by adding NaOH. To this mixture, freshly prepared FeSO 4 solution is added and boiled for some time and then cooled. A few drops of FeCl 3 are added and Prussian blue (bluish green) color forms due to formation of ferric ferrocyanide along with NaCl. This shows the presence of nitrogen in the organic ...
2 NaOH(aq) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2 H 2 O(l) ΔH = -112.5 kJ (highly exothermic) In the laboratory it can also be synthesized from the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and magnesium sulfate, by precipitating magnesium carbonate. 2 NaHCO 3 + MgSO 4 → Na 2 SO 4 + MgCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O
The reaction of fatty acids with base is the other main method of saponification. In this case, the reaction involves neutralization of the carboxylic acid. The neutralization method is used to produce industrial soaps such as those derived from magnesium, the transition metals, and aluminium.
Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of acetic acid. Basic (in aqueous NaOH): Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of aqueous NaOH. In acidic solution, usually only one alpha hydrogen is replaced by a halogen, as each successive halogenation is slower than the first.
General structure of a sulfonic acid with the functional group indicated in blue. In organic chemistry, sulfonic acid (or sulphonic acid) refers to a member of the class of organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−S(=O) 2 −OH, where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group and the S(=O) 2 (OH) group a sulfonyl hydroxide.

This reaction was developed by Alexander Williamson in 1850. [2] Typically it involves the reaction of an alkoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide via an S N 2 reaction. This reaction is important in the history of organic chemistry because it helped prove the structure of ethers. The general reaction mechanism is as follows: [3]
