Aminomethanesulfonic Acids as Reaction Products in SO2–NH2Alk–CH2O–H2O Systems: Synthesis and Structure

Abstract

An original procedure was proposed for the synthesis of a series of aminomethanesulfonic acids AlkNHCH2SO3 (Alk = n-Bu, n-Hept, n-Oct, Bn) and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylammonium hydroxymethanesulfonate. The structure of the compounds synthesized was examined by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.
