Trimethylsilyl chlorosulphonate 1 and di-(trimethylsilyl) sulphate 2 are obtained by reacting trimethylchlorosilane with chlorosulphonic acid and sulphuric acid respectively. 1 and 2 are thermally stable and soluble in most of the organic solvents.The silyl sulphonates are hydrolyzed at room temperature. 2 is less reactive than 1 and is adequate reagent when the molecule contains ether or ester groups as 1 reacts also as chlorination reagent.Thus, 2 when refluxed in the presence of an excess of methoxy benzene gives quantitatively trimethylsilyl 4-methoxybenzenesulphonate 3 which is hydrolyzed quantitatively into 4-methoxybenzenesulphonic acid. 2 reacts with acid chlorides and acid anhydrides in refluxing cyclohexane or carbon tetrachloride which leads to α-sulphonic carboxylic acids 4 by sulphonation in position α to the acyl function.When starting from chloroacetylchloride, a gem-disulphonic derivative 5 is formed.A common intermediate, acyl and trimethylsilyl sulphate 6, is put forward and easy preparation and isolation of sulphonic acids by this method is pointed out.
