Overview of Chlorosulfonic Acid

Chlorosulfonic Acid is a highly reactive inorganic sulfonating and chlorinating agent widely used in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and speciality chemicals. It is valued for its strong sulfonation capability, enabling efficient introduction of sulfonyl groups into organic compounds.

In industrial processes, Chlorosulfonic Acid is commonly used alongside Sulfuric Acid, Oleum, and Thionyl Chloride for controlled sulfonation and chlorination reactions.
