G. Singh et al., SULFONATION OF ARYLAMINE PART-5 - PREPARATION AND THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF DI-M-CHLOROANILINIUM SULFATE, INDIAN JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS SCIENCES, 5(5), 1998, pp. 334-338
White crystalline solid of di-m-chloroanilinium sulfate (di-m-ClAS) wa
s obtained when m-chloroaniline and cone. sulfuric acid were mixed tog
ether in the ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 at room temperature. Thermal decompos
ition of di-mClAS gave two isomeric chloroaminobenzenesulfonic acids (
sulfonated products) and kinetics for the same was evaluated using bot
h isothermal and non-isothermal TG data. Di-m-ClAS seems to decompose
by N-H bond heterolysis prior to sulfonation.
