Properties and stability

This product has a strong irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes, but is less toxic than methane sulfonic acid.
　

Storage method

This product should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from light. This product is packed in 250kg plastic drum or steel-plastic drum. Storein a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Store and transport in isolation from oxidants and alkalis.

Synthesis method

It is obtained by oxidation of methyl thiocyanate with nitric acid. Carefully heat the nitric acid and negative water to 80-88°C, add methyl thiocyanate in portions, and the temperature will automatically rise to about 105°C. After the reaction eases, heat to 120°C and react for 5 hours to obtain a crude product. Dilute the crude product with exchange water, add 25% barium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH to 8-9, and filter. The filtrate is shrunk until crystals precipitate, and the crystals are washed with methanol to remove nitrate radicals to obtain barium methane sulfonate. Then add the base to exchange water and boil, add sulfuric acid while it is hot to decompose, filter, and concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure until no water comes out, and the finished product is obtained. Another preparation method is obtained by chlorination, oxidation and hydrolysis of methylisothiourea sulfate. Add methylisothiourea sulfate to water and introduce chlorine gas at 20-25°C until the color of the solution turns yellow, an oil layer appears at the bottom of the bottle, the temperature drops, and a large amount of residual chlorine is discharged from the exhaust pipe, it is a reaction. end. The reaction solution is extracted with chloroform. After the extract is dried, the chloroform is evaporated under normal pressure at 60-62°C, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect the 60-65°C (2.67kPa) fraction to obtain methylsulfonyl chloride. Add the base dropwise into 80°C hot water with stirring, and keep warm for hydrolysis for about 2 hours until the oil droplets in the reaction solution completely disappear. The reaction solution is concentrated under reduced pressure until it becomes syrupy, diluted with water, and then concentrated under reduced pressure until no more water can be evaporated to obtain methane sulfonic acid.

Purpose

Methanesulfonic acid is a raw material for medicines and pesticides. It can also be used as a dehydrating agent, coating curing accelerator, fiber treatment agent, solvent, and catalyst for sulfation, esterification and polymerization reactions.
