2-Hydroxyethanesulphonyl chloride: a sulphonyl chloride with a primary hydroxy-group
Abstract
The preparation of 2-hydroxyethanesulphonyl chloride (1), the first example of compound containing both sulphonyl chloride and primary alcohol functions, is described; reaction of (1) with base gives products evidently derived from the sulphene (4) and the β-sultone (6).
