Homogeneous Catalysis

Acids for homogeneous catalysis and stabilization

Hydroxy-alkanesulfonic acids can be used as acidic catalysts in various chemical processes such as alkylations and esterification reactions. They offer an alternative to conventional acidic catalysts like sulfuric acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid, or hydrofluoric acid, as they can largely replace these. Particularly, hydroxyethanesulfonic acid stands out due to its enhanced catalytic efficiency and provides the additional benefit of significantly lower toxicity compared to hydrofluoric acid. Phosphinic acid derivatives are often used in chemical reactions to prevent unwanted oxidations, especially in organic and polymer chemistry processes. Compared to other antioxidants, these compounds offer advantages in specific applications due to their reducing properties.
