Isopropanol → p-Toluenesulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 190.0 parts of p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate and 419.0 parts of isopropyl alcohol was charged into the same three-necked flask as in Production Example 1 and stirred at room temperature. The resulting solution was added with 79.0 parts of pyridine to obtain a solution of pyridine salt of p-toluene sulfonic acid blocked with equimole of pyridine and having an effective component concentration (aromatic sulfonic acid) of 25%.
