  • Use of amine oxide in the H.sub.2 O.sub.2 oxidation of aliphatic mercaptan to sulfonic acid
    Patent number: 4747967
    Abstract: Hydrocarbyl mercaptans are oxidized to sulfonic acids by reaction with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an inorganic base (e.g. sodium hydroxide) and a tert-amine oxide. The product is in the form of a sulfonate salt. The reaction rate is increased and undesirable free-oil by-product is decreased by the inclusion of the amine oxide catalyst.
