Abstract: The sulfonation of the six halonaphthalenes with SO3 in dichloromethane as the solvent was studied by using 1H NMRas method of analysis of the resulting mixure of sulfo derivatives. Monosulfonation of 1-fluoronaphthalene yields only the 4-S, where the other three 1-halonaphthalenes yielded in addition to some 5-S. Further sulfonation of any of the four 1-halonaphthalenes-4-S's yields a mixtures of the 2, 4-S2, and 4, 7-S2, and eventually also some 2, 4, 7-S3. Sulfonation of 2-chloro-and 2-bromonaphthalenes with 1. 0 mole of SO3 yields a mixture containing predominantly 8-S(~85%) with small amount of 4-S(~15%).The eventual products on using>4. 0 mole of SO3 are 4, 7-S2, and 6, 8-S2.
