sultone
In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonate is a salt or ester of a sulfonic acid. It contains the functional group R−S(=O)2−O−, where R is an organic group. Sulfonates are the conjugate bases of sulfonic acids. Sulfonates are generally stable in water, non-oxidizing, and colorless. Many useful compounds and even some biochemicals feature sulfonates.

Sultone
In organic chemistry, sultones are cyclic sulfonate esters of hydroxy sulfonic acids that exist mainly as four-, seven-, and sometimes five-membered rings. They are often short-lived intermediates, used as strong alkylating agents to introduce a negatively charged sulfonate group. In the presence of water, they slowly hydrolyze to their respective corrosive hydroxy sulfonic acids. Sultones decompose when heated to produce toxic, foul smelling, sulfur dioxide fumes. Sultone oximes are key intermediates in the synthesis of the anti-convulsant drug zonisamide. Sultones are classified as toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic.
