Mechanism of p-Toluenesulfonic acid

PTSA (p-toluenesulfonic acid) acts as a strong acid catalyst in various organic reactions by protonating substrates, making them more electrophilic and susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

In esterification reactions, the mechanism involves the following steps[1, 2]:

  1. PTSA protonates the carbonyl oxygen of the carboxylic acid, activating it for nucleophilic addition.
  2. The alcohol nucleophilically attacks the activated carbonyl carbon, forming a tetrahedral intermediate.
  3. Proton transfer from the oxonium ion to the hydroxyl group of the tetrahedral intermediate occurs.
  4. The protonated hydroxyl group leaves as water, forming the protonated ester.
  5. Deprotonation of the ester yields the final ester product.

Each step in the esterification mechanism is reversible, so the reaction is an equilibrium. Excess alcohol or carboxylic acid is often used to drive the equilibrium forward. Water can also be removed to shift the equilibrium toward ester formation.

In acetalization reactions, the mechanism catalyzed by PTSA involves[2]:

  1. PTSA protonates the carbonyl group of the aldehyde or ketone, making it more electrophilic.
  2. Nucleophilic addition of one alcohol molecule to the activated carbonyl forms a hemiacetal intermediate.
  3. PTSA protonates the hydroxyl group of the hemiacetal, creating a good leaving group.
  4. A second alcohol molecule acts as a nucleophile, displacing water and forming the protonated acetal.
  5. Loss of a proton yields the final acetal product.

[3]

The acetalization reaction is also an equilibrium. Removal of water, often through a drying agent or distillation, drives the equilibrium toward acetal formation.

The strong acidity of PTSA enables it to protonate carbonyl groups and other substrates, increasing their electrophilicity. This facilitates nucleophilic addition reactions like esterification and acetalization. The reversibility of the individual steps means reaction conditions can be adjusted to favor product formation. PTSA’s solubility in organic solvents further enhances its utility as an acid catalyst for a wide range of synthetic transformations.

Synthesis and Structure Sodium Benzenesulfonate

  1. Synthesis and Structure Sodium Benzenesulfonate

Sodium benzenesulfonate is a compound that belongs to the class of organic salts, where a sodium cation is paired with a benzenesulfonate anion. Because of this compound’s surfactant qualities, capacity to form complexes, and involvement in a number of synthesis processes, it is of great interest in chemistry and materials research. For sodium benzenesulfonate to operate and be used in a variety of fields, such as organic synthesis, materials science, and environmental research, its synthesis and structure are essential.

1.1 Synthesis of Sodium Benzenesulfonate

The synthesis of sodium benzenesulfonate typically involves the sulfonation of benzene or its derivatives followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. Sulfuric acid or its anhydride can be used to carry out the sulfonation process, which adds a sulfonate group (-SO3H) to the benzene ring to create benzenesulfonic acid. Sodium benzenesulfonate is produced by substituting a sodium ion for the hydrogen atom in the sulfonic acid group during the next neutralization stage. For example, the sulfonate group is added to the aromatic ring in a sequence of events that create the asymmetric sodium benzenesulfonate Gemini surfactant. The product is then neutralized with sodium to generate the surfactant.
Similar to this, sulfonate monomer synthesis is the first step in the manufacture of poly(arylmethyl sulfone) monodendrons. Sodium benzenesulfinate is then combined with this monomer to generate the desired product.

The general synthesis of sodium benzenesulfonate entails sulfonating benzene and then neutralizing it with sodium hydroxide, according to broad understanding of organic chemistry and the sulfonation process. There are two primary phases that characterize the whole reaction:

  1. Sulfonation of Benzene: Benzene reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4​) to form benzenesulfonic acid. This reaction is facilitated by the presence of a strong acid, which acts as a catalyst. The general equation for this step is:

C6H6+H2SO4→C6H5SO3H+H2O

  1. Neutralization with Sodium Hydroxide: The benzenesulfonic acid produced in the first step is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form sodium benzenesulfonate and water. The equation for this reaction is:

C6H5SO3H+NaOH→C6H5SO3Na+H2O

1.2 Structure of Sodium Benzenesulfonate

The structure of sodium benzenesulfonate is characterized by the presence of a benzene ring, which is a six-carbon aromatic hydrocarbon, attached to a sulfonate group. The positive charge of the sodium ion balances the negative charge of the sulfonate group, which is a trioxide sulfur group (-SO3). The chemical has surfactant and water-soluble qualities due to its ionic structure.

The crystal structure of sodium benzenesulfonate complexes has been studied using various techniques such as X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the α-cyclodextrin-sodium benzenesulfonate complex, for instance, has a channel-type structure in which the stack of α-cyclodextrin rings forms a channel in which the benzenesulfonate anion is organized. The capacity of the chemical to form stable complexes through hydrogen bonding is demonstrated by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the sulfonato group and the hydroxyl groups of the neighboring cyclodextrin molecule.

Reducing the press and remove the remained Toluene.

Adding 300mL deionized water and 54.5g p-tert-butyl toluene into the 500mL three-necked flash, which is connected with reflux condenser and motor stirrer. While heating and stirring rapidly, adding Potassium Permanganate in lots. Keeping the reaction conducting 7-8 h till the purple solution doesn’t fade. Putting the solution into 500mL beaker and keeping it for one night. After filtering Manganese Dioxide away , adding hydrochloric acid. Repeating above procedures till the color turns into colorless and PH valued gets to be below 5. After washing, adding 100mL toluene white solid to be dissolved. The upper layer was reduced press to recover toluene. Cooling to obtain needle crystalline P-Tert-Butyl Benzoic Acid(PTBBA).

In the series reports of studies on synthesizing P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid (PTBBA), the methods, such as Microwave Radiation Method, Potassium Permanganate Oxidation Method, Nitric acid oxidation method, Acetate solvent catalytic oxidation method and the Solvent-free liquid phase oxidation method, have been introduced in details.

While being catalyzed, p-tert-butyl toluene is gasified and oxidized by the high temperature and yield Para-tert-butyl Benzoic acid (PTBBA). The electronic oxidization method is also workable in P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid’s preparation.

Application and Development Prospects of P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid (PTBBA): Sunscreens is the core of sunscreen cosmetics formulations. In 1928, USA released the first report on sunscreens all over the world. Till now, there are already forty kinds of sunscreens being developed. According to the function, they are divided into UV absorbers and Ultraviolet bulk toners. In 1997, Pursol 1789 was approved by USA FDI as safe and effective sunscreen. It is the most effective one among the rare kinds of UVA type absorbers. The structure is below:

With the wide use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in industry, agriculture, health care, daily necessities and other fields, the PVA heat stabilizer P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid (PTBBA)’s consumption is rising year by year. At present, many domestic PVC stabilizer producers are using P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid, mainly the liquid type. Korea, Japan, Mexico, Europe, America, India, Netherlands and other countries’ firms are also using it with large quantity. In addition, the market demand as lubricants adhesives and dye auxiliaries is also getting larger. Currently, America, Japan, Germany and other countries have developed P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid (PTBBA) production technique and have products available for the market. In the international market, only the France and Japan’s output has reached 18000 tons. However, our country’s export was only 300 ton last year. It is obvious that this product not only has large share for export, but the domestic demand is large. From the domestic and international market demand, the P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid (PTBBA) still has a huge shortfall in supply. So far, the P-tert-butyl Benzoic acid process synthetic route is not perfect , efficient , energy-saving , environmentally – friendly production process still has a practical application of the value .
