General structure of a sulfonic acid with the blue marked functional group

A sulfonic acid (or sulphonic acid) refers to a member of the class of organosulfur compounds with the general formula RS(=O)₂–OH, where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group and the S(=O)₂–OH group a sulfonyl hydroxide.^[1] A sulfonic acid can be thought of as sulfuric acid with one hydroxyl group replaced by an organic substituent. The parent compound (with the organic substituent replaced by hydrogen) is the hypothetical compound sulfurous acid. Salts or esters of sulfonic acids are called sulfonates.

Preparation

Ball-and-stick model of methanesulfonic acid.

Sulfonic acid is produced by the process of sulfonation. Usually the sulfonating agent is sulfur trioxide. A particularly large scale application of this method is the production of alkylbenzenesulfonic acids:

RC₆H₅ + SO₃ → RC₆H₄SO₃H

In this reaction, sulfur trioxide is an electrophile and the arene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution.^[1]

Thiols can be oxidized to sulfonic acids:

RSH + 3/2 O₂ → RSO₃H

Certain sulfonic acids, such as perfluorooctanesulfonic acid are prepared by electrophilic fluorination of preformed sulfonic acids. The net conversion can be represented simplistically:

C₈H₁₇SO₃H + 17 F₂ → C₈F₁₇SO₃H + 17 HF

Properties

Sulfonic acids are much stronger acids than the corresponding carboxylic acids. p-Toluenesulfonic acid, with a pK_a of -2.8, is about a million times stronger acid than benzoic acid, with a pK_a of 4.2. Similarly, methanesulfonic acid, pK_a = -1.9, is also about one million times stronger acid than acetic acid. Because of their polarity, sulfonic acids tend to be crystalline solids. They are also usually colourless and nonoxidizing, which is convenient. Because of their high acidity, sulfonic acids are often soluble in water or exhibit detergent-like properties.

The structure of sulfonic acids is illustrated by the prototype, methanesulfonic acid. The sulfonic acid group, RSO₂OH features a tetrahedral sulfur centre, meaning that sulfur is at the center of four atoms: three oxygens and one carbon. The overall geometry of the sulfur centre is reminiscent of the shape of sulfuric acid.

Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, an alkylbenzenesulfonate surfactant used in laundry detergents.

Applications

Although both alkyl and aryl sulfonic acids are known, most of the applications are associated with the aromatic derivatives.

Detergents and surfactants

Detergents and surfactants are molecules that combine highly nonpolar and highly polar groups. Traditionally, soaps are the popular surfactants, being derived from fatty acids. Since the mid-20th century, the usage of sulfonic acids has surpassed soap in advanced societies. For example, an estimated 2 billion kilograms of alkylbenzenesulfonates are produced annually for diverse purposes. Lignin sulfonates, produced by sulfonation of lignin are components of drilling fluids and additives in certain kinds of concrete.^[2]

Dyes

Many if not most of the anthroquinone dyes are produced or processed via sulfonation.^[3] Sulfonic acids tend to bind tightly to proteins and carbohydrates. Most "washable" dyes are sulfonic acids (or have the functional sulfonyl group in them) for this reason. p-Cresidinesulfonic acid is used to make food dyes.

Acid catalysts

Being strong acids, sulfonic acids are also used as catalysts. The simplest examples are methanesulfonic acid, CH₃SO₂OH and p-toluenesulfonic acid, which are regularly used in organic chemistry as acids that are lipophilic (soluble in organic solvents). Polymeric sulfonic acids are also useful. Dowex resin are sulfonic acid derivatives of polystyrene and is used as catalysts and for ion exchange (water softening).Nafion, a fluorinated polymeric sulfonic acid is a component of proton exchange membranes in fuel cells.^[4]

Drugs

Antibacterial drugs sulfa drugs are produced from sulfonic acids.

Flow Batteries

Methanesulfonic acid is used as the supporting electrolyte of the zinc-cerium and lead-acid (methanesulfonate) flow batteries.

Reactions

Esterification

Methyl triflate

Sulfonic acids can be converted to esters. This class of organic compounds has the general formula R-SO₂-OR. Sulfonic esters such as methyl triflate are considered good alkylating agents in organic synthesis. Such sulfonate esters are often prepared by alcoholysis of the sulfonyl chlorides:

RSO₂Cl + R'OH → RSO₂OR' + HCl

Halogenation

Sulfonyl halide groups occur when a sulfonyl functional group is singly bonded to a halogen atom. They have the general formula R-SO₂-X where X is a halide, almost invariably chloride. They are produced by chlorination of sulfonic acids using thionyl chloride and related reagents.

Displacement

Although the C-SO₃H bond is strong, the (aryl)C-SO₃ bond can be cleaved by certain nucleophiles. Of historic and continuing significance is the α-sulfonation of anthroquinone followed by displacement of the sulfonate group by other nucleophiles, which cannot be installed directly.^[3] An early method for producing phenol involved the base hydrolysis of sodium benzenesulfonate, which can be generated readily from benzene.^[5]

C₆H₅SO₃Na + 2 NaOH → C₆H₅OH + Na₂SO₃ + H₂O
