GHS Hazard Classification

Documented Uses

• Used to make sulfonyl-substituted imides, methide lithium salts, and pentafluoroethanesulfonyl fluoride, a fluorinated surfactant; [HSDB]
• Intermediate in the syntheses of new, low-cost, non-fluorinated, sulfonyl-substituted imide and methide lithium salts.
• Intermediate in the preparation of the fluorinated surfactant pentafluoroethanesulfonyl fluoride.
• Alkanesulfonyl chlorides are manufactured from mercaptans or disulfides and chlorine using a loop reactor having an ejector, wherein mercaptan or disulfide is dispersed or dissolved into circulating aqueous solvent before the ejector and alowed to react with chlorine supplied through the aspirator of the ejector.
• Mercaptans or disulfide in aqueous solvents are reacted with chlorine gas in dark to produce alkanesulfonyl chloride without chloro chain byproducts. Thus, ... ethyl mercaptan was reacted with ... chlorine gas over 4 hours in /the/ dark in ... pure water keeping the reaction temperature under 20 °C to give ethanesulfonyl chloride.
• Production volumes for non-confidential chemicals reported under the Inventory Update Rule. [Table#7143]
