Synthesis of Mergal K 14 Various synthetic routes have been reported.[2] Mergal K 14s are typically prepared on an industrial scale by the ring-closure of 3-sulfanylpropanamide derivatives. These in turn are produced from acrylic acid via the 3-mercaptopropionic acid. Ring-closure involves conversion of the thiol group into a reactive species which undergoes nucleophilic attack by the nitrogen center. This typically involves chlorination,[1] or oxidation of the 3-sulfanylpropanamide to the corresponding disulfide species. These reaction conditions also oxidize the intermediate isothiazolidine ring to give the desire product. Applications of Mergal K 14 Mergal K 14s are antimicrobials used to control bacteria, fungi, and algae in cooling water systems, fuel storage tanks, pulp and paper mill water systems, oil extraction systems, wood preservation and antifouling agents. They are frequently used in personal care products such as shampoos and other hair care products, as well as certain paint formulations. Often, combinations of MIT and CMIT (known as Kathon CG) or MIT and BIT are used. Biological implications Together with their wanted function, controlling or killing microorganisms, Mergal K 14s also have undesirable effects: They have a high aquatic toxicity and some derivatives can cause hypersensitivity by direct contact or via the air. Mergal K 14 is an Isothiazolone biocide having a 3:1 ratio of CMIT and MIT, widely used for its broad-spectrum action against microbes, algae, and fungi. Mergal K 14 is one of the active ingredients of humidifier disinfectants and a commonly used preservative in industrial products such as cosmetics, paints, adhesives and detergents. Mergal K 14 is a 1,2-thiazole that is 4-isothiazolin-3-one bearing a methyl group on the nitrogen atom and a chlorine at C-5. It is a powerful biocide and preservative and is the major active ingredient in the commercial product Exocide. It has a role as an antimicrobial agent, a xenobiotic and an environmental contaminant. Mergal K 14 is a member of 1,2-thiazoles and an organochlorine compound. Mergal K 14 derives from a Isothiazolone. Mergal K 14 (MCI) is an isothiazolinone commonly used as a preservative with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Mergal K 14 is found within many commercially available cosmetics, lotions, and makeup removers. Mergal K 14 is also a known dermatological sensitizer and allergen; some of its side effects include flaky or scaly skin, breakouts, redness or itchiness, and moderate to severe swelling in the eye area. The American Contact Dermatitis Society named Mergal K 14 the Contact Allergen of the Year for 2013. Sensitivity to Mergal K 14 may be identified with a clinical patch test. Mergal K 14 is a 1,2-thazole that is 4-isothiazolin-3-one bearing a methyl group on the nitrogen atom. Mergal K 14 is a powerful biocide and preservative and is the minor active ingredient in the commercial product Exocide. Mergal K 14 has a role as an antifouling biocide, an antimicrobial agent and an antifungal agent. Features & Benefits of Mergal K 14 Broad-spectrum of activity Low level of metal salt Protection against bacteria and fungi Wide range of pH stability up to 8.5 Effective at a low level of use 0.05 - 0.15% No color or odor imparted into end products Excellent compatibility with surfactants Safe at recommended use levels Rapidly biodegradable Active Ingredient in this product is listed by EPA in the Safer Chemical Ingredients List (SCIL) Applications of Mergal K 14 Cleaners and polishes, such as all-purpose cleaners, cleaning and industrial use wipes, floor and furniture polishes/waxes, automotive washes, polishes and waxes Laundry products, such as liquid laundry detergents, fabric softeners and pre-spotters Liquid detergents, such as dish wash detergents and general liquid cleaning solution Other applications, such as moist towelettes, air fresheners, moist sponges, gel air fresheners Raw materials and surfactants preservation Chloromethyl-methylMergal K 14 (Mergal K 14) is a broad spectrum biocide which has been used successfully for microbial control and preventing biofouling in industrial water treatment. ATAMAN CHEMICALS reports over the past 20 years on the efficacy of Mergal K 14 biocide versus Legionella bacteria and the protozoa associated with their growth. The studies included a wide range of conditions, including single organisms in cooling water and complex model systems with bacteria, biofilms, and protozoa. Overall, low levels of Mergal K 14 (1-10 ppm active) provided significant reduction in viable counts of various strains and species of Legionella bacteria in planktonic and biofilm studies and also against the amoebae and ciliated protozoa associated with their growth. Mergal K 14 BIOCIDES IN WATER TREATMENT Mergal K 14 biocides are widely used for microbial control in industrial water treatment. The most frequently used product is a 3:1 ratio of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT) and 2-methyl- 4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT) at a final concentration of 1.5% total active ingredient. Mergal K 14 has broad spectrum efficacy versus bacteria, algae, and fungi. Exocide product is a blend of Isothiazolinones and is composed of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-thiazoline-3-ketone (CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-thiazoline-3-ketone (MIT). The bactericidal effect of Isothiazolinones is carried out through breaking the bond between the bacteria and algae protein. The product can be used in many industrial applications to inhibit microbes’ growth, and it has inhibition and biocidal effects on ordinary bacteria, fungi and algae. Isothiazolinones (also Mergal K 14) is a blended biocide with Mergal K 14 and Isothiazolinone which carry out the bactericidal effect through breaking the bond of bacteria and algae cell protein. When isothiazolinones contact with microbes, it can quickly break cell protein bond and inhibit their growth, and then lead to the apoptosis of these microbes. Isothiazolinone products can be effective in controlling both the planktonic and surface growth at very low concentrations and have been produced specifically for oilfield water treatment and paper mill applications. Mergal K 14 has strong biocidal effects on ordinary bacteria, algae and fungi which has many advantages such as no residue, good compatibleness, high stabilization, good degradation, safety and low cost in operation. Isothiazolinone products can mix with other chlorine biocides and most cation, anion, and non-ionic surfactants. It can be an excellent eco-friendly sludge remover when used at high dosage. Mergal K 14 and Isothiazolinone are fungicidal with properties of high efficiency, broad spectrum, non-oxidative and low toxicity. Mergal K 14 is the most suitable biocide in industrial circulating cool water systems and in wastewater treatment for oilfield, papermaking, pesticide and other industries. Bichain is one of reliable isothiazolinones manufacturers and suppliers of Mergal K 14, CMIT and MIT for oilfield water treatment. We supply high quality isothiazolinone products with CAS 55965-84-9. Area of use Mergal K 14 is often not stable under certain conditions such as high temperatures or high pH values. Normally it is stabilised with Mg, Cu or Na salts. However, some applications are sensitive to salts or electrolyte. In this case Exocide 1012 AG is an excellent alternative. This broadband biocide is used to preserve water-based and water-dilutable chemical/technical products, and can be used as an in-can preservative in technical applications such as paints, adhesives, and household and industrial cleaners. Mergal K 14 is especially suitable for preserving fuels such as diesel, or for use in secondary oil production. This Exocide is also suitable as a slimicide, protective media for liquids in cooling and production systems, and as a protective medium for fluids used in metalworking. This biocide formulation has a broad antimicrobial spectrum of activity against bacteria, fungi and yeasts and can be used in many cases where other products fail. Product properties of Mergal K 14 Exocide 1012 AG is free of formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, phenols and heavy metals, and exhibits excellent chemical stability. It is not volatile, exhibits outstanding long-term effectiveness, and is one of the best examined broadband biocides. CMIT and CMI Mergal K 14 (MIT or MI) and Isothiazolinone (CMIT or CMI) are two preservatives from the family of substances called isothiazolinones, used in some cosmetic products and other household products. MIT can be used alone to help preserve the product or it may be used together with CMIT as a blend. Preservatives are an essential element in cosmetic products, protecting products, and so the consumer, against contamination by microorganisms during storage and continued use. MIT and CMIT are two of the very limited number of ‘broad spectrum’ preservatives, which means they are effective against a variety of bacteria, yeasts and moulds, across a wide range of product types. MIT and CMIT have been positively approved for use as preservatives for many years under the strict European cosmetics legislation. The primary purpose of these laws is to protect human safety. One of the ways it does this is by banning certain ingredients and controlling others by limiting their concentration or restricting them to particular product types. Preservatives may only be used if they are specifically listed in the legislation. MIT Mergal K 14 can be used on its own to help preserve cosmetic products. Following discussions with dermatologists, who reported an increase in cases of allergy to Mergal K 14 in their clinics, the European cosmetics industry assessed the available information regarding the risk of allergic reactions to Mergal K 14, and in December 2013, the European Personal Care Association, Cosmetics Europe, issued a Recommendation for companies to discontinue the use of MIT in leave-on skincare products. The European Commission’s independent expert scientific panel (the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, SCCS), which advises on safety matters, reviewed the use of MIT in cosmetic products. In 2013, the SCCS also recommended that MIT be removed from leave-on cosmetic products and that the amount of Mergal K 14 used in rinse-off cosmetic products should be reduced. As a result, the European Commission changed the cosmetic law to ban the use of MIT in leave-on cosmetic products. Since 12 February 2017, it is no longer permitted to make these products available to consumers. In addition, the maximum amount of MIT present in rinse-off products has been reduced and since 27 April 2018, all products made available to consumers must comply with the new limit. If consumers have been diagnosed as allergic to Mergal K 14 it is important to check the ingredient list of rinse-off cosmetic products. The name ‘Mergal K 14’ will always be listed as ‘Mergal K 14’ regardless of where in Europe a product is purchased. MIT/CMIT Blend Mergal K 14 may also be used in a blend with CMIT. If the Mergal K 14 and CMIT blend is used to preserve a cosmetic product, then the names Mergal K 14 and Mergal K 14 will both be present in the ingredients list, which every cosmetic product must have either on its carton, pack or label, card etc. at point of sale. In its review of the MIT/CMIT blend, the SCCS has stated that the MIT/CMIT blend should only be allowed to be used in rinse-off cosmetic products. As a result, the European cosmetic law was changed to restrict the use of this blend to rinse-off products only from April 2016. CMIT: Mergal K 14, also referred to as CMIT, is a preservative with antibacterial and antifungal effects within the group of isothiazolinones. These compounds have an active sulphur moiety that is able to oxidize thiol-containing residues, thereby effectively killing most aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Mergal K 14 is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Mergal K 14 is found in many water-based personal care products and cosmetics. Mergal K 14 was first used in cosmetics in the 1970s. It is also used in glue production, detergents, paints, fuels, and other industrial processes. Mergal K 14 is known by the registered tradename Kathon CG when used in combination with Mergal K 14. Mergal K 14 may be used in combination with other preservatives including ethylparaben, benzalkonium chloride, and bronopol. In pure form or in high concentrations, Mergal K 14 is a skin and membrane irritant and causes chemical burns. In the United States, maximum authorized concentrations are 15 ppm in rinse-offs (of a mixture in the ratio 3:1 of 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol 3(2H)-one and 2-methylisothiazol-3 (2H)-one). In Canada, Mergal K 14 may only be used in rinse-off products in combination with Mergal K 14, the total concentration of the combination may not exceed 15 ppm. MIT: Mergal K 14, MIT, or MI, (sometimes erroneously called methylisothiazoline), is a powerful synthetic biocide and preservative within the group of isothiazolinones, which is used in numerous personal care products and a wide range of industrial applications. It is a cytotoxin that may affect different types of cells. Its use for a wide range of personal products for humans, such as cosmetics, lotions, moisturizers, sanitary wipes, shampoos, and sunscreens, more than doubled during the first decade of the twenty-first century and has been reported as a contact sensitizing agent by the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety. Industrial applications also are quite wide ranging, from preservative and sanitizing uses to antimicrobial agents, energy production, metalworking fluids, mining, paint manufacturing, and paper manufacturing, many of which increase potential exposure to it by humans as well as organisms, both terrestrial and marine. Industrial applications in marine environments are proving to be toxic to marine life, for instance, when the effect of its now almost-universal use in boat hull paint was examined. Applications of Mergal K 14 Mergal K 14 and other isothiazolinone-derived biocides are used for controlling microbial growth in water-containing solutions. Two of the most widely used isothiazolinone biocides are 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (chloroMergal K 14 or CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (Mergal K 14 or MIT), which are the active ingredients in a 3:1 mixture (CMIT:MIT) sold commercially as Exocide. Exocide is supplied to manufacturers as a concentrated stock solution containing from 1.5-15% of Mergal K 14. For applications the recommended use level is from 6 ppm to 75 ppm active Mergal K 14s. Biocidal applications range from industrial water storage tanks to cooling units, in processes as varied as mining, paper manufacturing, metalworking fluids and energy production. Mergal K 14 also has been used to control slime in the manufacture of paper products that contact food. In addition, this product serves as an antimicrobial agent in latex adhesives and in paper coatings that also contact food. Other isothiazolinones One Mergal K 14, Sea-Nine 211 (4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolino-3-one, DCOI), has quickly replaced tributyltin as the antifouling agent of choice in ship hull paint. A recent study reported the presence of DCOI in both port water and sediment samples in Osaka, Japan, especially in weakly circulating mooring areas. Of environmental concern, DCOI levels predicted in marinas now are considered a threat to various marine invertebrate species. Isothiazolinones also are extremely toxic to fish. In industrial use, the greatest occupational inhalation exposure occurs during open pouring. Non-occupational exposure to Mergal K 14 by the general population also occurs, albeit at much lower concentrations. These compounds are present in a very large number of commonly used cosmetics. Human health Mergal K 14 is allergenic and cytotoxic, and this has led to some concern over its use. A report released by the European Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-food Products Intended for Consumers (SCCNFP) in 2003 also concluded that insufficient information was available to allow for an adequate risk assessment analysis of MIT. Rising reports of consumer impact led to new research, including a report released in 2014 by the European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety which reported: "The dramatic rise in the rates of reported cases of contact allergy to MI, as detected by diagnostic patch tests, is unprecedented in Europe; there have been repeated warnings about the rise (Gonçalo M, Goossens A. 2013). The increase is primarily caused by increasing consumer exposure to MI from cosmetic products; exposures to MI in household products, paints and in the occupational setting also need to be considered. The delay in re-evaluation of the safety of MI in cosmetic products is of concern to the SCCS; it has adversely affected consumer safety." "It is unknown what proportion of the general population is now sensitized to MI and has not been confirmed as sensitized." In 2014, the European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety further issued a voluntary ban on "the mixture of Mergal K 14 (MCI/MI) from leave-on products such as body creams. The measure is aimed at reducing the risk from and the incidence of skin allergies. The preservative can still be used in rinse-off products such as shampoos and shower gels at a maximum concentration of 0.0015 % of a mixture in the ratio 3:1 of MCI/MI. The measure will apply for products placed on the market after 16 July 2015." Shortly thereafter, Canada moved to adopt similar measures in its Cosmetic Ingredients Hotlist. Additionally, new research into cross reactivity of MI-sensitized patients to variants benzisothiazolinone and octylisothiazolinone have found that reactions may occur if present in sufficient amounts. Allergic contact dermatitis Mergal K 14 is used commonly in products in conjunction with Mergal K 14, a mixture sold under the registered trade name Kathon CG. A common indication of sensitivity to Kathon CG is allergic contact dermatitis. Sensitization to this family of preservatives was observed as early as the late 1980s. Due to increased use of isothiazolinone-based preservatives in recent years, an increase in reported incidences of contact allergy to this product has been reported. In 2013 the substance was declared the 2013 Contact Allergen of the Year by the American Contact Dermatitis Society. In 2016 the Dermatitis Academy launched a call to action for patients to report their isothiazolinone allergy to the FDA. On December 13, 2013 the trade group, Cosmetics Europe,following discussions with the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD),recommended to its members "that the use of Mergal K 14 (MIT) in leave-on skin products including cosmetic wet wipes is discontinued. This action is recommended in the interests of consumer safety in relation to adverse skin reactions. It is recommended that companies do not wait for regulatory intervention under the Cosmetics Regulation but implement this recommendation as soon as feasible." On March 27, 2014, the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety issued an opinion on the safety of Mergal K 14. This report only considered the issue of contact sensitization. The committee concluded: “Current clinical data indicate that 100 ppm MI in cosmetic products is not safe for the consumer. "For leave-on cosmetic products (including ‘wet wipes’), no safe concentrations of MI for induction of contact allergy or elicitation have been adequately demonstrated. "For rinse-off cosmetic products, a concentration of 15 ppm (0.0015%) Mergal K 14 is considered safe for the consumer from the view of induction of contact allergy. However, no information is available on elicitation

PRODUCTION OF METHACRYLIC ACID:
In the most common route, methacrylic acid is prepared from acetone cyanohydrin, which is converted to methacrylamide sulfate using sulfuric acid.
This derivative in turn is hydrolyzed to methacrylic acid, or esterified to methyl methacrylate in one step. Another route to methacrylic acid starts with isobutylene, which obtainable by dehydration of tert-butanol. Isobutylene is oxidized sequentially to methacrolein and then methacrylic acid.
Methacrolein for this purpose can also be obtained from formaldehyde and ethylene.

Yet a third route involves the dehydrogenation of Isobutyric acid.
Various green routes have been explored but they have not been commercialized.
Specifically, the decarboxylation of itaconic acid, citraconic acid, and mesaconic acids affords methacrylic acid.

Salts of methacrylic acid have been obtained by boiling citra- or meso-brompyrotartaric acids with alkalis.
Pyrolysis of ethyl methacrylate efficiently gives methacrylic acid.


USES AND OCCURRENCE OF METHACRYLIC ACID:
The main use of methacrylic acid is its polymerization to poly(methyl methacrylate).
Methacrylic acid is used in some nail primers to help acrylic nails adhere to the nail plate.
Copolymers consisting partially of methacrylic acid are used in certain types of tablet coatings in order to slow the tablet's dissolution in the digestive tract, and thus extend or delay the release of the active ingredient.
MAA occurs naturally in small amounts in the oil of Roman chamomile.


REACTIONS OF METHACRYLIC ACID:
For a commercial applications, MMA is polymerized using azobisisobutyronitrile as a thermally activated free-radical catalyst.
Otherwise, MMA is relatively slow to polymerize thermally or photochemically.

Methacrylic acid undergoes several reactions characteristic of alpha,beta-unsaturated acids (see acrylic acid).

These reactions include the Diels–Alder reaction and Michael additions.
Esterifications are brought about by acid-catalyzed condensations with alcohols, alkylations with certain alkenes, and transesterifications.

Epoxide ring-opening gives hydroxyalkyl esters.
Sodium amalgam reduces it to isobutyric acid. A polymeric form of methacrylic acid was described in 1880

REACTIVITY PROFILE OF METHANE DICARBOXYLIC ACID (MALONIC ACID):
Methane Dicarboxylic Acid (Malonic Acid) is a carboxylic acid.
Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them.
They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic.

Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat.
Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt.
Carboxylic acids with six or fewer carbon atoms are freely or moderately soluble in water; those with more than six carbons are slightly soluble in water.

Soluble carboxylic acid dissociate to an extent in water to yield hydrogen ions.
The pH of solutions of carboxylic acids is therefore less than 7.0.
Many insoluble carboxylic acids react rapidly with aqueous solutions containing a chemical base and dissolve as the neutralization generates a soluble salt.

Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt.
Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry.
Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in it to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers.

Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids.
Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide.

Flammable and/or toxic gases and heat are generated by the reaction of carboxylic acids with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides.
Carboxylic acids, especially in aqueous solution, also react with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3), dithionites (SO2), to generate flammable and/or toxic gases and heat.

Their reaction with carbonates and bicarbonates generates a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) but still heat.
Like other organic compounds, carboxylic acids can be oxidized by strong oxidizing agents and reduced by strong reducing agents.
These reactions generate heat.

A wide variety of products is possible. Like other acids, carboxylic acids may initiate polymerization reactions; like other acids, they often catalyze (increase the rate of) chemical reactions
Methane Dicarboxylic Acid (Malonic Acid) is incompatible with strong oxidizers.
Methane Dicarboxylic Acid (Malonic Acid) is also incompatible with bases and reducing agents.

Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA)is an organic acid with the chemical formula CH3SO3H.
Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) is a colorless, viscous liquid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents.
Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) is a strong acid, meaning that it readily donates protons (H+) to other molecules in solution.
Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) is commonly used in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions.
Thanks to its versatility, Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) is a viable substitute for organic and inorganic strong acids in a variety of applications.



CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF METHANE SULFONIC ACID (MSA):
The chemical structure of Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) consists of a central carbon atom (C) bonded to three hydrogen atoms (H).
One of the hydrogen atoms is also bonded to a sulfur atom (S), and the sulfur atom is further bonded to three oxygen atoms (O).
These oxygen atoms are also bonded to a hydrogen atom each.
This arrangement gives Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) its distinct properties as a strong organic acid.



PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METHANE SULFONIC ACID (MSA):
Colorless or light yellow liquid
Odorless or with a slight sulfuric odor
Highly soluble in water forming a homogeneous solution and is miscible with most polar organic solvents.
Relatively high density (~1.48 g/mL at room temperature)
High boiling point (~167°C or 332°F)



HISTORY AND MANUFACTURING OF METHANE SULFONIC ACID (MSA):
The first commercial production of Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA), developed in the 1940s by Standard Oil of Indiana, was based on oxidation of dimethylsulfide by O2 from air.
Although inexpensive, this process suffered from a poor product quality and explosion hazards.

In 1967, the Pennwalt Corporation (USA) developed a different process for dimethylsulfide (as an water-based emulsion) oxidation using chlorine, followed by extraction-purification.
In 2022 this chlorine-oxidation process was used only by Arkema (France) for making high-purity MSA.
This process is not popular on a large scale, because it co-produces large quantities of hydrochloric acid.

Between years 1970 and 2000 Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) was used only on a relatively small-scale in niche markets (for example, in the microelectronic and electroplating industries since the 1980s), which was mainly due to its rather high price and limited availability.

However, this situation changed around 2003, when BASF launched commercial production of Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) in Ludwigshafen based on a modified version of the aforementioned air oxidation process, using dimethyldisulfide instead of dimethylsulfoxide.
The former is produced in one step from methanol from syngas, hydrogen and sulfur.

An even better (lower-cost and environmentally friendlier) process of making Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) was developed in 2016 by Grillo-Werke AG (Germany).
Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) is based on a direct reaction between methane and oleum at around 50 °C and 100 bar in the presence of a potassium persulfate initiator.
This technology was acquired and commercialized by BASF in 2019.

METHANE SULFONIC ACID 70% Ludwigshafen, Germany – December 20, 2018 – BASF intends to expand the production capacity for methane sulfonic acid (MSA) at its Ludwigshafen site by around 65 percent and increase the global capacity to 50,000 metric tons per year. With the investment the company further strengthens its position as the leading global producer of MSA. The volumes from the additional capacity are expected to be available late in 2021 for customers in all regions. “The demand for MSA increased strongly across industries. This expansion will allow us to support the rapid growth of our customers, especially in Asia. Beyond the increase in Ludwigshafen, we evaluate investment options outside of Europe to continuously expand our MSA capacities,” says Martin Widmann, Global Strategic Marketing and Development, Care Chemicals division at BASF. “We focus our extensive know-how and highly efficient manufacturing processes on our customers’ needs to enhance their applications’ performance, sustainability and efficacy." Sustainable alternative to conventional acids Methane sulfonic acid is a strong organic acid used in numerous applications ranging from chemical and biofuel synthesis to industrial cleaning and metal surface treatment in the electronics industry. The expansion is in line with the trend for top-performance and at the same time environmentally friendly technologies in various industries. BASF’s proprietary process enables the production of Lutropur® MSA – a high-purity methane sulfonic acid. Lutropur MSA is a sustainable alternative to other acids such as sulfuric, phosphoric or acetic acid. As part of the natural sulfur cycle MSA is readily biodegradable. Further benefits in practical applications come, for example, from its nonoxidizing nature, the high solubility of its salts and the absence of color and odor. As already announced at the end of 2018, BASF will proceed with expanding global capacities for methane sulfonic acid (MSA) to 50,000 metric tons per year. This involves a higher double-digit million euro investment in constructing a new methane sulfonic acid plant at the Ludwigshafen site. The construction works started recently. The volumes from the additional capacity are expected to be available from the end of 2021 and are dedicated to mainly serve European customers as well as the rapidly growing Asian market. “We want to meet our customers' growing demand for high-quality, sustainable and high-performance technologies in the best possible way now and in future. To achieve that, we continuously invest in expanding our capacities and production technologies. To this end, we acquired an innovative process approach for producing MSA from Grillo-Werke AG in mid 2019 to strengthen our own R&D activities and to accelerate the development of a new manufacturing process for methane sulfonic acid. In doing so, we support as reliable partner the growth of our customers across the world,” said Ralph Schweens, President Care Chemicals, BASF.

Infobox references Methane sulfonic acid 70% (MsOH) or methanesulphonic acid (in British English) is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula CH3SO3H. It is the simplest of the alkylsulfonic acids. Salts and esters of Methane sulfonic acid 70% are known as mesylates (or methanesulfonates, as in ethyl methanesulfonate). It is hygroscopic in its concentrated form. Methane sulfonic acid 70% may be considered an intermediate compound between sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and methylsulfonylmethane ((CH3)2SO2), effectively replacing an –OH group with a –CH3 group at each step. This pattern can extend no further in either direction without breaking down the –SO2– group. Methane sulfonic acid 70% can dissolve a wide range of metal salts, many of them in significantly higher concentrations than in hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.[3] Contents 1 Applications 1.1 Electroplating 2 See also 3 References Applications Methane sulfonic acid 70% is used as an acid catalyst in organic reactions because it is a non-volatile, strong acid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is convenient for industrial applications because it is liquid at ambient temperature, while the closely related p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) is solid. However, in a laboratory setting, solid PTSA is more convenient. Methane sulfonic acid 70% can be used in the generation of borane (BH3) by reacting Methane sulfonic acid 70% with NaBH4 in an aprotic solvent such as THF or DMS, the complex of BH3 and the solvent is formed.[4] Electroplating Solutions of Methane sulfonic acid 70% are used for the electroplating of tin and tin-lead solders. It is displacing the use of fluoroboric acid, which releases corrosive and volatile hydrogen fluoride.[5] Methane sulfonic acid 70% is also a primary ingredient in rust and scale removers.[6] It is used to clean off surface rust from ceramic, tiles and porcelain which are usually susceptible to acid attack. See also TrifluoroMethane sulfonic acid 70% - the more acidic trifluoro analogue 4.3.3.2.1 Methane sulfonic acid 70% system Methane sulfonic acid 70% with high acidity is not only the catalyst in the process of chitin acylation, but also is a good solvent for partially acylated chitin. Thus homogeneous acylation of chitin can be achieved in the Methane sulfonic acid 70% system. Norio et al. [75] mixed chitin, Methane sulfonic acid 70%, and glacial acetic acid according to different molar ratios, and reacted it at 0°C overnight to obtain acetylated chitin with different DS. In this experiment, a homogeneous phase is gradually formed as the reaction proceeds, which contributes to further acylation. This reaction should be kept at a low temperature to prevent degradation of chitin in acidic conditions. The acylating agent is not limited to carboxylic acid but also acid chloride. Furthermore, Kaifu et al. [78] mixed the chitin, Methane sulfonic acid 70%, and acid chloride first, then the mixture was reacted at 0°C for 2 h, followed by an overnight reaction at –20°C to obtain acylated chitin. By changing the kind and molar amount of acid chloride, hexanoylation, oxime acylation, and dodecyl acylation of chitin with different DS can be obtained, of which DS can be up to 1.9. In this process, the crystallinity of chitin can be effectively destroyed by further acylation by reacting at –20°C overnight. In general, the acylation ability of the acid chloride is higher than that of the carboxylic acid. The larger the acylation group, the greater the damage to the crystalline region of chitin. c. Dilute Methane sulfonic acid 70% in Dioxane–Dichloromethane This diluted Methane sulfonic acid 70% (MSA) system, which uses 0.5 M MSA in 1:9 (v/v) dioxane–CH2Cl2 (Kiso et al., 1992b), is primarily used in SPPS. The advantages are as follows: (i) elimination of side-chain protecting groups is reduced compared to the conventional 45% TFA/CH2Cl2 method, and (ii) pyroglutamyl formation from glutamine-containing peptides is similarly decreased relative to the use of 4 N HCl/dioxane. Using the MSA deprotection system, Kiso et al. (1990a) developed an efficient method for SPPS consisting of in situ neutralization and the rapid coupling reaction using BOP or BOI reagent activation (Kiso et al., 1990a) (Fig. 7). Porcine brain natriuretic peptide (pBNP) was synthesized successfully using this method (Kiso et al., 1992b). 10.14.10.6 DMSO and Methane sulfonic acid 70% DMSO and Methane sulfonic acid 70% are two of the most important organic oxidation products of DMS. It is not entirely clear how Methane sulfonic acid 70%, CH3S(O)(O)(OH), forms, but methanesulfinic acid, CH3S(O)(OH)CH3, has been reported during oxidation in OH–DMS systems. Further addition of OH to methanesulfinic acid, followed by reaction with oxygen, can yield Methane sulfonic acid 70%. At lower temperatures found in the Arctic, there are a wide variety of oxidation products of DMS that include the MSA, DMS, and dimethylsulfone, CH3S(O)(O)CH3. WHAT IS METHANE SULPHONIC ACID 70% Methane sulphonic acid 70%, also known as methane sulfonic acid 70% or mesylic acid. It is widely used as an acid catalyst and solvent in organic reactions in biological and agricultural industry. It is also a key ingredient in plating various metals to print circuit board manufacture in electric industry. Besides, Methane sulphonic acid 70% is popularly used in textile treatment, and the production of plastics and polymers.

Infobox references Methane sulfonic acid 70% (MsOH) or methanesulphonic acid (in British English) is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula CH3SO3H. It is the simplest of the alkylsulfonic acids. Salts and esters of Methane sulfonic acid 70% are known as mesylates (or methanesulfonates, as in ethyl methanesulfonate). It is hygroscopic in its concentrated form. Methane sulfonic acid 70% may be considered an intermediate compound between sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and methylsulfonylmethane ((CH3)2SO2), effectively replacing an –OH group with a –CH3 group at each step. This pattern can extend no further in either direction without breaking down the –SO2– group. Methane sulfonic acid 70% can dissolve a wide range of metal salts, many of them in significantly higher concentrations than in hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.[3] Contents 1 Applications 1.1 Electroplating 2 See also 3 References Applications Methane sulfonic acid 70% is used as an acid catalyst in organic reactions because it is a non-volatile, strong acid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is convenient for industrial applications because it is liquid at ambient temperature, while the closely related p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) is solid. However, in a laboratory setting, solid PTSA is more convenient. Methane sulfonic acid 70% can be used in the generation of borane (BH3) by reacting Methane sulfonic acid 70% with NaBH4 in an aprotic solvent such as THF or DMS, the complex of BH3 and the solvent is formed.[4] Electroplating Solutions of Methane sulfonic acid 70% are used for the electroplating of tin and tin-lead solders. It is displacing the use of fluoroboric acid, which releases corrosive and volatile hydrogen fluoride.[5] Methane sulfonic acid 70% is also a primary ingredient in rust and scale removers.[6] It is used to clean off surface rust from ceramic, tiles and porcelain which are usually susceptible to acid attack. See also TrifluoroMethane sulfonic acid 70% - the more acidic trifluoro analogue 4.3.3.2.1 Methane sulfonic acid 70% system Methane sulfonic acid 70% with high acidity is not only the catalyst in the process of chitin acylation, but also is a good solvent for partially acylated chitin. Thus homogeneous acylation of chitin can be achieved in the Methane sulfonic acid 70% system. Norio et al. [75] mixed chitin, Methane sulfonic acid 70%, and glacial acetic acid according to different molar ratios, and reacted it at 0°C overnight to obtain acetylated chitin with different DS. In this experiment, a homogeneous phase is gradually formed as the reaction proceeds, which contributes to further acylation. This reaction should be kept at a low temperature to prevent degradation of chitin in acidic conditions. The acylating agent is not limited to carboxylic acid but also acid chloride. Furthermore, Kaifu et al. [78] mixed the chitin, Methane sulfonic acid 70%, and acid chloride first, then the mixture was reacted at 0°C for 2 h, followed by an overnight reaction at –20°C to obtain acylated chitin. By changing the kind and molar amount of acid chloride, hexanoylation, oxime acylation, and dodecyl acylation of chitin with different DS can be obtained, of which DS can be up to 1.9. In this process, the crystallinity of chitin can be effectively destroyed by further acylation by reacting at –20°C overnight. In general, the acylation ability of the acid chloride is higher than that of the carboxylic acid. The larger the acylation group, the greater the damage to the crystalline region of chitin. c. Dilute Methane sulfonic acid 70% in Dioxane–Dichloromethane This diluted Methane sulfonic acid 70% (MSA) system, which uses 0.5 M MSA in 1:9 (v/v) dioxane–CH2Cl2 (Kiso et al., 1992b), is primarily used in SPPS. The advantages are as follows: (i) elimination of side-chain protecting groups is reduced compared to the conventional 45% TFA/CH2Cl2 method, and (ii) pyroglutamyl formation from glutamine-containing peptides is similarly decreased relative to the use of 4 N HCl/dioxane. Using the MSA deprotection system, Kiso et al. (1990a) developed an efficient method for SPPS consisting of in situ neutralization and the rapid coupling reaction using BOP or BOI reagent activation (Kiso et al., 1990a) (Fig. 7). Porcine brain natriuretic peptide (pBNP) was synthesized successfully using this method (Kiso et al., 1992b). 10.14.10.6 DMSO and Methane sulfonic acid 70% DMSO and Methane sulfonic acid 70% are two of the most important organic oxidation products of DMS. It is not entirely clear how Methane sulfonic acid 70%, CH3S(O)(O)(OH), forms, but methanesulfinic acid, CH3S(O)(OH)CH3, has been reported during oxidation in OH–DMS systems. Further addition of OH to methanesulfinic acid, followed by reaction with oxygen, can yield Methane sulfonic acid 70%. At lower temperatures found in the Arctic, there are a wide variety of oxidation products of DMS that include the MSA, DMS, and dimethylsulfone, CH3S(O)(O)CH3. WHAT IS METHANE SULPHONIC ACID 70% Methane sulphonic acid 70%, also known as methane sulfonic acid 70% or mesylic acid. It is widely used as an acid catalyst and solvent in organic reactions in biological and agricultural industry. It is also a key ingredient in plating various metals to print circuit board manufacture in electric industry. Besides, Methane sulphonic acid 70% is popularly used in textile treatment, and the production of plastics and polymers.

History and Preparation / Manufacturing
The first commercial production of Methane sulfonic acid, developed in the 1940s by Standard Oil of Indiana (USA), was based on oxidation of methylsulfide by O2 from air.
Although inexpensive, this process suffered from a poor product quality and explosion hazards.

In 1967, the Pennwalt Corporation (USA) developed a different process for methylsulfide (as an water-based emulsion) oxidation using chlorine.
In 2022 this chlorine-oxidation process was used only by Arkema SA (France) for making high-purity Methane sulfonic acid.
This process is not popular on a large scale, because Methane sulfonic acid co-produces large quantities of hydrochloric acid.

Between years 1970 and 2000 Methane sulfonic acid was used only on a relatively small-scale in niche markets (e.g., in the microelectronic and electroplating industries since the 1980s), which was mainly due to its rather high price and limited availability.
However, this situation changed around 2003, when BASF launched commercial production of Methane sulfonic acid in Ludwigshafen based on a modified version of the aforementioned air oxidation process, using dimethyldisulfide instead of methylsulfide.
The former is produced in one step from methanol from syngas, hydrogen and sulfur.

An even better (lower-cost and environmentally friendlier) process of making methane sulfonic acid was developed ca. 2016 by Grillo-Werke AG (Germany).
Methane sulfonic acid is based on a direct reaction between methane and oleum at ca. 50 °C and 100 bar in the presence of a potassium persulfate initiator.

(1) a strong acid,
(2) has a low vapor pressure (see boiling points in the "Properties" inset),
(3) is not an oxidant or explosive, like nitric, sulfuric or perchloric acids.
(4) is liquid at room temperature,
(5) soluble in many organic solvents,
(6) forms water-soluble salts with all inorganic cations and with most organic cations,
(7) does not form complexes with metal ions in water,
