A few sterols, some derivatives, and certain steroid materials have been transformed chemically, by heating with suitable reagents (l-4), to products having antirachitic activity. This activating reaction1 involves heating an appropriate substrate in acetic acid solution with an efficient sulfonating reagent under anhydrous conditions for a number of hours. At the termination of the reaction ti...

Sulfoconjugation (Sulfation or Sulfonation) is an important reaction in the phase II biotransformation of a wide number of endogenous and foreign chemicals, including: drugs, toxic chemicals, hormones, and neurotransmitters. The reaction is catalyzed by the members of the cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) superfamily, consisting of ten functional genes in humans. Sulfation reaction in living ce...

Porous polymeric solid acids bearing hydroxyl and sulfonic acid groups, synthesized from aromatic monomers via the Friedel-Crafts “knitting” polymerization, could efficiently hydrolyze cellulose. • Bifunctional porous were for hydrolyzing polymerization followed by sulfonation was used to synthesize acids. Hydroxyl groups as cellulose-binding sites enhanced catalytic performance of acid. struct...

Abstract Effect of retanning on the thermal stability leather is eliciting increasing attention. However, relationship between hydrophilicity agents and heat resistance corresponding mechanism remain unclear. Herein, phenolic formaldehyde syntans (PFSs) were selected as models to explore effect retanned leather. The was closely correlated hydrophilic group content (sulfonation degree) PFSs. As ...

In this study, linear alkyl-benzene calcium sulfonate nanoparticles were made using linear alkylbenzene. Calcium sulfonate nanoparticles are widely used as an additive in a variety of engine oils and have cleansing, anti-wear and anti-oxidant properties and anti-corrosion properties. In this method, a sulfonation set up was constructed and sulfonation reaction was carried out both directly and ...

Unprecedented water vapor uptake of 320% was demonstrated with SPEEK at an unexpectedly low degree sulfonation 19% due to the high S–S distance.
