UsesBenzene-1,3-disulphonic acid is used as intermediates for dyes and pharmaceuticals.
PreparationBenzene is introduced into a cast-steel agitator vessel containing 100% sulfuric acid. The contents of the reactor are heated to 100 ℃ and kept at this temperature for one hour. The products of the reaction (monosulfonation) are transferred to an agitator vessel containing 65% oleum. The temperature rises from 30 to 80 ℃ and is maintained at this level for another 1 – 2 h. The sulfonation mass is freed from sulfate ions in the normal way by adding calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate and then removing the gypsum. It is then converted with sodium carbonate into the disodium salt, which is dried on a drum dryer. The yield is 93% and the product has a purity of 96%.Particularly pure 1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid is obtained according to the process of Hooker Chemical Corp. Benzene is sulfonated with 96% sulfuric acid at a molar ratio of the reactants of 1:3.4. The temperature is initially 65 ℃, but is then raised to 80 ℃. The water of the reaction is then removed by evaporation at 33 mbar and 200 ℃. Finally, during disulfona- tion at 1.3 mbar and 210 – 235 ℃, sulfuric acid and reaction water are distilled. The reaction product has a purity of 98.7% and a solidification point of 136 ℃. The process also can be operated continuously.
