Chlorosulfonylated
Chlorosulfonylated is a term used in organic and materials chemistry to describe a molecule that contains a chlorosulfonyl group, –SO2Cl, introduced by a chlorosulfonylation reaction. The chlorosulfonyl group is a reactive sulfonyl chloride substituent that can serve as a versatile handle for further derivatization.
Traditionally, chlorosulfonylation refers to the introduction of –SO2Cl onto an aromatic system or an alkene, typically
Applications and transformations: The chlorosulfonyl group is a good leaving-like site for subsequent reactions. Nucleophiles such
Safety: Chlorosulfonyl chloride is highly reactive, lachrymatory, and corrosive, and it releases hydrogen chloride and sulfurous
