sulfonation
Adding sulfonic groups
Sulfonation is a chemical reaction that introduces a sulfonic acid group into a molecule, typically by treating an organic compound with sulfuric acid or sulfur trioxide.
The process is fundamental in industrial chemistry, used to manufacture detergents, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
Sulfonated compounds dissolve readily in water, making them useful as surfactants.
