VINYL SULPHONE ESTER
Vinyl sulphone, also known as vinyl sulfone, is an organic compound with the formula C₂H₄SO₂. It is characterized by the presence of a vinyl group (CH₂=CH−) attached to a sulfone group (SO₂). Vinyl sulfones are important intermediates in organic synthesis and are commonly used as reactive dyes and in the preparation of biologically active molecules.
Applications
- Reactive Dyes for Textiles: Essential component in reactive dyes that form covalent bonds with fibers, resulting in high wash-fastness and light-fastness.
- Printing Inks: Used in inkjet printing formulations to ensure effective dye binding
- Intermediate in Organic Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
