Benzenesulfonic acid<br />

+ H 2O<br />

Although introduction <strong>of</strong> a sulfonic acid group is generally <strong>of</strong> more<br />

limited interest than other electrophilic substitution reactions, the<br />

reversibility <strong>of</strong> sulfonation leads to its use in synthetic strategy.<br />

Heating arylsulfonic acids in dilute sulfuric acid removes the sulfonic<br />

acid function.<br />
