Overview of Benzenesulphonic Acid

Benzenesulphonic Acid (C₆H₅SO₃H) is a white crystalline solid and a strong aromatic sulfonic acid widely used in the chemical industry. It serves as an important intermediate in the production of dyes, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. Its high acidity and water solubility make it suitable for sulfonation reactions, facilitating the synthesis of a wide range of organic compounds.

In industrial applications, Benzenesulphonic Acid is valued for its high purity, consistent reactivity, and compatibility with other formulation components. It is commonly used alongside Toluene Sulfonic Acid, Naphthalene Sulfonic Acid, and Sodium Benzenesulfonate, available on ChemicalBull, providing a complete solution for chemical manufacturing and specialty applications.
