METHOD FOR MAKING ALKANESULPHONYL CHLORIDES

摘要

The invention concerns a method for making alkanesulphonyl chloride RCH2-SO2CI by oxidising chlorinolysis of the corresponding mercaptan RCH2-SH, mercaptan and water being introduced in the reaction mixture in the form of a water dispersion in mercaptan. Said process results both in very high quality alkanesulphonyl chloride and commercial grade hydrochloric acid.
