Applications
Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid is used in the synthesis of quinolones for the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors. It is also used as a polymerization catalyst and an amination reagent. It is involved in the preparation of diazene by reacting with an alkali. It is also used in the inhibition of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) as well as (polychlorinated biphenyl) PCB formation in co-combustion.
