Description

p-Toluenesulfonamide is a chemical compound that is used in various industries, such as the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides. It is an aziridine compound which can be synthesized from ethyl formate and chloride in the presence of a base. The reaction mechanism for this process starts with the nucleophilic attack of chloride on ethyl formate to generate an acylium ion. This ion then reacts with p-toluenesulfonic acid to produce the desired product. p-Toluenesulfonamide has been shown to be toxic to rats when administered at high doses, but it does not appear to have any adverse effects on humans when ingested orally.
