Sulfoalkylating agents are which type of Sulfonate?(a) Inorganic(b) Organic(c) Saturated(d) None of the mentionedI have been asked this question in an internship interview.This is a very interesting question from Chemical Structures topic in section Sulfonation and Sulfation of Unit Processes

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) Organic

Best explanation: Sulfoalklyating agents are called Organic SULFATES because they contain one to three carbon atoms and a reactive functional group (e.g., HYDROXYL, ALDEHYDE, or olefinic un saturation) allowing easy attachment to an organic compound of higher molecular weight (e.g., a water-insoluble dye) upon which it is desired to confer the PROPERTIES of a sulfonate group, especially water SOLUBILITY.
