Abstract
Abstract The hydrolysis kinetics of Reactive Blue 19-Vinyl Sulfone (RB 19-VS) were studied in phosphate buffer over a pH range of 4–11 and a temperature range of 25–85°C. The hydrolysis of RB 19-VS is base-mediated and leads to quantitative formation of the 2-hydroxyethylsulfone (RB 19-OH). The half-life for RB 19-VS at pH = 7.0 at 25°C was calculated to be 46 years.
