Description

Disulfonates are a class of compounds that have a sulfonyl group bound to two adjacent carbon atoms. They are typically synthetic and rarely occur in nature. Disulfonates are used as industrial solvents, such as for the manufacture of polyurethane foams and plastics. The most common disulfonate is 1,1-Bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropane (HMC). HMC is synthesized from 2-hydroxypropene by the addition of hydrogen chloride, followed by conversion to the imine and then hydrolysis to the final product. In addition to being an industrial solvent, HMC has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of HIV replication. It binds to chemokine receptors on cells, preventing HIV entry into the cell. HMC also inhibits the growth of cancer cells in vitro and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties that may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. END>
