Synthesis
It may be prepared by the acid catalyzed reaction of allyl alcohol and sodium bisulfite.
Reactions
1,3-propane sultone is an activated ester and is susceptible to nucleophilic attack. It hydrolyzes to the hydroxysulfonic acid.
It has been used in the synthesis of specialist surfactants, such as CHAPS detergent.[4]
Safety
Typical of activated esters, 1,3-propane sultone is an alkylating agent. 1,3-Propane sultone is toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic.[5][6]
gollark: I mean, I'd agree with that assessment, I just wouldn't agree with attacking them because of it.
gollark: You're unlikely to actually change people's opinions by assaulting them, but at least you get to feel good about Doing Something™!
gollark: Yes, how dare I generally support freedom of speech/beliefs.
gollark: Who are you talking to here?
gollark: I don't agree with violence against people with different beliefs. I definitely don't agree with killing them.
