Description

Butanesultone is a viscous, clear, colourless – or yellowish/brown – and odourless liquid. When heated, vapours of butanesultone are known to form explosive mixtures with air and are reported to cause explosion hazards.


Liquid


1,4-Butane sultone is an impurity in sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD), and has been reported to be a weak carcinogen. 1,4-Butane sultone can be used for preparation of Brnsted acidic ionic liquids and the ionic liquid is green, highly water soluble, thermally stable, specific and catalytically stable, and can be used for the preparation of symmetrical 3,3'-diaryloxyoctanone compounds[1-2].


Suspected carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Poison by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. See also SULFONATES. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx

Characteristics

The reactivity of 1,4-butane sultone:Under conditions involving an excess of diol, the reaction of 1,4-butanesultone (BS) with 1,4-butanediol (BD) yields only a negligible amount of (4-hydroxybutoxy)butane-1-sulfonic acid (BDSA), and the formation of tetrahydrofuran (THF) (accounting for 30 mol% of the initial BD) is observed. BD was reacted with Na₂CO₃, used as the base, at a molar ratio of 10:1 for 1 hour at room temperature. After distilling off the unreacted BD, BS was added. The resulting BDSS was purified by precipitation, yielding a 45% yield[3].

1,4-Butane sultone Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

By reacting tetrahydrofuran with acetyl chloride to obtain chlorobutyl acetate, then reacting with sodium sulfite to obtain hydroxybutanesulfonic acid, and finally dehydrating to obtain the product. The total yield is about 40%.

Uses

1,4-Butane Sultone is an alkylating agent with weak carcinogenic activity.


Intermediates


1,4-Butane sultone can be employed as a reactant in the preparation of conjugated polymers which include polybetaine, poly[2-ethynyl-N-(4-sulfobutyl)pyridinium betaine] (PESPB).It can also be used in the preparation of Bronsted acid catalysts such as 4-(succinimido)-1-butane sulfonic acid and poly(4-vinylpyridinium butane sulfonic acid) hydrogen sulfate. These catalysts facilitate the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols, substituted quinolines, and pyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives.
