1,4-Butane sultone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

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.

Uses

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

Uses

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.

Safety Profile

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
