szulfonáló
Szulfonáló refers to the chemical process of introducing a sulfo group (SO3H) into an organic molecule. This reaction is known as sulfonation and is a crucial step in the synthesis of many important industrial chemicals. The sulfo group is a strongly acidic functional group that can significantly alter the properties of a molecule, increasing its water solubility and reactivity.
Sulfonation can be achieved using various sulfonating agents, with concentrated sulfuric acid being the most common.
The resulting sulfonic acids and their derivatives, sulfonates, have a wide range of applications. They are
