Process for producing preparing sulfonyl ethers from sulfonic acids |
摘要 |
A method of preparing a sulfonyl ether comprising the steps of: <SL> <LI>i) reacting a sulfonic acid with an anhydride, under continuous vacuum distillation conditions, to form a carboxysulfonate; <LI>ii) reacting the carboxysulfonate with an optionally substituted cycloalkane ring containing at least 3 heteroatoms to form a sulfonyl ether pre-mix comprising a sulfonyl ether and at least two additional reaction products each containing at least one ether linkage; <LI>iii) subjecting the pre-mix to continuous vacuum distillation conditions to remove at least some of the additional reaction products from the sulfonyl ether pre-mix to provide a crude sulfonyl ether product; and <LI>iv) purifying the crude sulfonyl ether product. </SL> The preferred sulfonic acid is a methanesulfonic acid and the preferred sulfonyl ether is bis(methanesulfonylmethyl)ether (BSME). The preferred carboxysulfonate is acetyl methane sulfonate (AMS). The preferred cycloalkane comprising three hetero atoms is trioxane. |
