Desulfonation reaction
In organic chemistry, the desulfonation reaction is the hydrolysis of sulfonic acids:
- RC6H4SO3H + H2O → RC6H5 + H2SO4
The reaction applied to aryl and naphthylsulfonic acids. It is the reverse of sulfonation. The temperature of desulfonation correlates with the ease of the sulfonation.
