Product Information

• Name: 4-Ethenylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Ethenylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride is an organic compound that contains a sulfonyl chloride functional group. It is used as a polymerization initiator in the synthesis of polyvinyl chloride. 4-Ethenylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to form sodium sulfonate, which can then be reacted with vinyl chloride to produce polyvinyl chloride. The structure of 4-ethenylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride has been determined by FTIR spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. This compound hydrolyzes in water to form hydrochloric acid and its conjugate base, which is the monosodium salt of the carboxylic acid. 4-Ethenylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride has high transport properties in water because it is a strong electrolyte and has high solubility in water
