General description

Benzenesulfonyl chloride reacts with Grignard reagent from N-unsubstituted indoles to form oxindoles or substituted indoles. It is the derivatization reagent for the determination of various amines in waste water and surface water at the sub-ppb level by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Application

Benzenesulfonyl chloride may be used in thiamine assay for determination of thiamine in different food products.
