Sodium P-toluenesulfonate
Sodium ''p''-toluenesulfonate is an organic compound with the formula . It is white, water-soluble solid. It is produced by the neutralization toluenesulfonic acid with sodium hydroxide Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula . It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations and hydroxide anions . Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base (chemistry), .... It is also a common product from the reactions of sodium-based reagents with toluenesulfonates. Heating this salt in strong base results in desulfonation, giving, after acid workup, ''p''-cresol.{{cite journal , doi=10.15227/orgsyn.003.0037, title=p-Cresol , journal=Organic Syntheses , year=1923 , volume=3 , page=37, author=W.

Organic Compound
Some chemical authorities define an organic compound as a chemical compound that contains a carbon–hydrogen or carbon–carbon bond; others consider an organic compound to be any chemical compound that contains carbon. For example, carbon-containing compounds such as alkanes (e.g. methane ) and its derivatives are universally considered organic, but many others are sometimes considered inorganic, such as certain compounds of carbon with nitrogen and oxygen (e.g. cyanide ion , hydrogen cyanide , chloroformic acid , carbon dioxide , and carbonate ion ). Due to carbon's ability to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. The study of the properties, reactions, and syntheses of organic compounds comprise the discipline known as organic chemistry. For historical reasons, a few classes of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., carbonate salts and cyanide salts), along with a few other exceptions (e.g., carbon dioxide, and even ...

Sodium Hydroxide
Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula . It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations and hydroxide anions . Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base (chemistry), base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and at high concentrations may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates . The monohydrate crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound. As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently used alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students. Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the making of wood pulp and paper, tex ...

Tosyl Group
In organic chemistry, a toluenesulfonyl group (tosyl group, abbreviated Ts or TosIn this article, "Ts", unless otherwise stated, means tosyl, not tennessine.) is a univalent functional group with the chemical formula . It consists of a tolyl group, , joined to a sulfonyl group, , with the open valence on sulfur. This group is usually derived from the compound tosyl chloride, (abbreviated TsCl), which forms esters and amides of toluenesulfonic acid, (abbreviated TsOH). The para orientation illustrated (''p''-toluenesulfonyl) is most common, and by convention ''tosyl'' without a prefix refers to the ''p''-toluenesulfonyl group. The tosyl terminology was proposed by German chemists Kurt Hess and Robert Pfleger in 1933 on the pattern of trityl and adopted in English starting from 1934. The toluenesulfonate (or tosylate) group refers to the (–OTs) group, with an additional oxygen attached to sulfur and open valence on an oxygen. In a chemical name, the term ''tosylate'' may ...

Desulfonation
In organic chemistry, the desulfonation reaction is the hydrolysis of sulfonic acids: :RC6H4SO3H + H2O → RC6H5 + H2SO4 The reaction applied to aryl and naphthylsulfonic acids. It is the reverse of sulfonation.Otto Lindner, Lars Rodefeld "Benzenesulfonic Acids and Their Derivatives" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 2005, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. The temperature of desulfonation correlates with the ease of the sulfonation. : Applications in synthesis This reactivity is exploited in the regiospecific preparation of many di- and tri-substituted aromatic compounds. The approach exploits the meta-directing effect of the sulfonic acid group. 2-Chlorotoluene for example can be prepared by chlorination of p-toluenesulfonic acid, followed by hydrolysis. The method is also useful for the preparation of 2,6-dinitroaniline Dinitroanilines are a class of chemical compounds with the chemical formula C6H5N3O4. They are derived from both aniline and dinitrobenzenes. There ...

Workup (chemistry)
In chemistry, work-up refers to the series of manipulations required to isolate and purify the product(s) of a chemical reaction. The term is used colloquially to refer to these manipulations, which may include: * deactivating any unreacted reagents by quenching a reaction. * cooling the reaction mixture or adding an ''antisolvent'' to induce precipitation, and collecting or removing the solids by filtration, decantation, or centrifugation. * changing the protonation state of the products or impurities by adding an acid or base. * separating the reaction mixture into organic and aqueous layers by liquid-liquid extraction. * removal of solvents by evaporation. * purification by chromatography, distillation or recrystallization. The work-up steps required for a given chemical reaction may require one or more of these manipulations. Work-up steps are not always explicitly shown in reaction schemes. Written experimental procedures will describe work-up steps but will usually not fo ...

P-Cresol
''para''-Cresol, also 4-methylphenol, is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4(OH). It is a colourless solid that is widely used intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is a derivative of phenol and is an isomer of ''o''-cresol and ''m''-cresol. Production Together with many other compounds, ''p''-cresol is conventionally extracted from coal tar, the volatilized materials obtained in the roasting of coal to produce coke. This residue contains a few percent by weight of phenol and cresols. Industrially, ''p''-cresol is currently prepared mainly by a two-step route beginning with the sulfonation of toluene: :CH3C6H5 + H2SO4 → CH3C6H4SO3H + H2O Basic hydrolysis of the sulfonate salt gives the sodium salt of the cresol: :CH3C6H4SO3H + 2 NaOH → CH3C6H4OH + Na2SO3 + H2O Other methods for the production of ''p''-cresol include chlorination of toluene followed by hydrolysis. In the cymene-cresol process, toluene is alkylated with propene to give ''p''-cy ...

Sulfonyl Groups
In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonyl group is either a functional group found primarily in sulfones, or a substituent obtained from a sulfonic acid by the removal of the hydroxyl group, similarly to acyl groups. Group Sulfonyl groups can be written as having the general formula , where there are two double bonds between the sulfur and oxygen. Sulfonyl groups can be reduced to the sulfide with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBALH). Lithium aluminium hydride () reduces some but not all sulfones to sulfides. In inorganic chemistry, when the group is not connected to any carbon atoms, it is referred to as sulfuryl. Examples of sulfonyl group substituents The names of sulfonyl groups typically end in -syl, such as: : See also * Sulfonyl halide * Sulfonamide * Sulfonate * Methylsulfonylmethane Dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2) is an organosulfur compound with the formula . It is also known by several other names including methyl sulfone and (especially in alternative medicine) methylsu ...
