CH3CH2CH2SO3H
Propanesulfonic acid, with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2SO3H, is an organic compound belonging to the class of sulfonic acids. It is a strong acid, meaning it readily dissociates in water to form a proton (H+) and the propanesulfonate anion (CH3CH2CH2SO3-). The structure consists of a three-carbon propyl chain attached to a sulfonic acid functional group (-SO3H).
Propanesulfonic acid can be synthesized through various methods, including the oxidation of 1-propanethiol or by reacting
As a strong acid, propanesulfonic acid can participate in typical acid-base reactions. It is also a versatile
