2-Iodobenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt

2-Iodobenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt is a synthetic organic compound that is used in organic chemistry as a reagent. It is an acidic ionic compound that contains the sulfonic acid functional group, and can be used to synthesize heterocycles. 2-Iodobenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt can also be used to make oxone, which is an oxidizing agent. Oxone is often used in chemoenzymatic reactions to oxidize alcohols or other organic compounds. 2-Iodobenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt can be made by reacting 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with hydrogen sulfate, followed by the addition of either anhydrous acetonitrile or water.
