Abstract
There is disclosed a process for decolorizing arylsulfonyl halides. The disclosed process decolorizes arylsulfonyl halides derived from the reaction of an arylsulfonic acid with a sulfur halide and a corresponding halogen. The resulting arylsulfonyl halide is contacted with a decolorizing agent and thereafter optionally dstilled. The decolorizing agent can be an oxidizing agent, for example, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, potassium permanganate, chlorine, nitric acid, and air in the presence of platinum on charcoal catalyst. The decolorizing agent can also be a reducing agent, e.g., dimethyl phosphite, trimethyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, hydrogen sulfide, sodium hypophosphite and red phosphorus. Additionally, the decolorizing agent can be a compound having at least one alkene linkage, e.g., polybutadiene, C.sub.14 -C.sub.30 alpha-olefins, and unsaturated vegetable oils.
