Frémy's salt is a chemical compound with the formula (K4[ON(SO3)2]2), sometimes written as (K2[NO(SO3)2]). It a bright yellowish-brown solid, but its aqueous solutions are bright violet.[1][2] The related sodium salt, i.e. disodium nitrosodisulfonate (NDS, Na2ON(SO3)2, CAS RN 29554-37-8) is also referred to as Frémy's salt.[3]

Regardless of the cations, the salts are distinctive because aqueous solutions contain the radical [ON(SO3)2]2-.

Applications

Fremy's salt, being a long-lived free radical, is used as a standard in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, e.g. for quantitation of radicals. It intense EPR spectrum is dominated by three lines of equal intensity with a spacing of about 13 G (= 1.3 mT).[4][5][6]

The inorganic aminoxyl group is a persistent radical, akin to TEMPO.

It has been used in some oxidation reactions, e.g. for oxidation of some anilines and phenols.[7][8][9][10][11] It can also be used as a model for peroxyl radicals in studies that examine the antioxidant mechanism of action in a wide range of natural products.[12]

Preparation

Fremy's salt is prepared from hydroxylaminedisulfonic acid. Oxidation of the conjugate base gives the purple dianion:

HON(SO3H)2 → [HON(SO3)2]2- + 2 H+
2 [HON(SO3)2]2- + PbO2 → 2 [ON(SO3)2]2- + PbO + H2O

The synthesis can be performed by combining nitrite and bisulfite to give the hydroxylaminedisulfonate. Oxidation is typically conducted at low-temperature, either chemically or by electrolysis.[3][2]

Other reactions:

HNO2 + 2 HSO3− → HON(SO3)22− + H2O
3 HON(SO3)22− + MnO4− + H+ → 3 ON(SO3)22− + MnO2 + 2 H2O
2 ON(SO3)22− + 4 K+ → K4[ON(SO3)2]2

History

The Frémy's salt was discovered in 1845 by Edmond Frémy (1814–1894).[13] Its use in organic synthesis was popularized by Hans Teuber, such that an oxidation using this salt is called the Teuber reaction.[9][10]
