General description

Sodium 1-pentanesulfonate monohydrate, also known as 1-Hexanesulfonic acid sodium salt monohydrate, is commonly used as a surfactant and a reversed-phase ion-pairing agent.

Application

Sodium 1-hexanesulfonate monohydrate can be used as a catalyst to synthesize:     
  • Amidoalkyl naphthols by three-component reaction of β-naphthol, aldehydes, and urea.      
  • Aminophosphonates by the reaction of aldehydes/ketones with amines.

It can also be used as a reactant to prepare polynuclear oxidobismuth sulfonates by reacting with sodium 2-methyl-2-propensulfonate and tetra-μ3-hydroxyhexakis(nitrato-κO)tetra-μ3-oxohexabismuth in DMSO.
