and N-allyl-pyridine~3~sul~onic acid betaine mentioned in this
patent are, however~ not fully satisfa~tory. It appears that
nickel deposits turn lusterless and britt}e with a too low
ampere hour load per liter o~ nickel bath. This behavior
of the bath cannot be prevented by any of the regeneration
method~i employed in electroplating. The ins~ant compounds
of this invention are agents which produce a highly leveled
nickel daposit of excellent ductility in a far more constant
bath.
DESCRIPTION O:i? THE PREF:~RRED EMBODIMENTS-
This invention relates to a novel class of pyridyl alkyl
sulfonic acid betaines represented by t~e following formula:
--(CH2 ) nS3~)
R
in which the substituent (cH2)~so3~3 is in the 2- or 4-
position of the pyridyl ring; n is the in~eger 1 or 2; and
R is a member selected from the group consisting of methyl;
methallyl; C~2COOH; CH2(CH2)xCH2SO3Na wherein x is the integer

~ or purpose~ of nomenclature r the aorementioned groups:
sodium 2-hydroxypropylsulfonate; sodium 2-hydroxybutylsulfonate
and sodium 3-hydroxybutylsulfonate may also be denoted as 3-Na-
sulfo-2-hydroxypropyl, 4-Na-sulfo-2-hydroxybutyl and 4-Na-sulfo-
3-hydroxybutyl, respec~ively. Similarly, th~ aoreme~ioned group:
C~2(C~2~xCH2SO3Na may be denoted a 3-~a~Rulopropyl when x - 1,

tic hydrocarbon with 1 to 4 carbons; and the term "haloi~ include~
bromo and ~luoro, with chloro preferred, that is, those halogens
with atomic weight less than 80.

described and exempli~ied hereina~ter. The compounds of formulas
~ a) and (II-b) are obtained from known procedures in the art,
for example, by reaction between 2- or 4-vinylpyridine and
sodium bisul~ite according to ~. Am. Chem. Soc., 69, 2465 (1947)
for the preparati~n of ~he ethyl sulfonic acid~ or by reaetion
betwe~n appropriate haloalkyl pyridines and sodium sulfite.
To prepare the fonmula (I) compounds with R equal to methyl,
the precursor (II-a) or (II-b) is reacted with dimethyl sulfate
a~ the quat~rnizing agent, generally utilizing a sligh~t stoichio-
metric excess of the latter. Elevated temperatures may be em-
ployed to enhance the rate of reaction. Since dimethyl sulfate
is a liquid at ambient temperatures, the use of an additional
organic solvent for the quaternization reaction is normally un-
necessary. The reaction may be illustrated as follows:

To prepare the formula (I) compounds with R equ~l to
CH2C00~, approximately equimolar amounts of the precursor (II-b)
and haloacetic acid in ~he ~o~m of an alkali metal ~alt, for
example, sodium (III) in an aqueous solvent are reacted, pre-
~erably under reflux conditions. The reaction mixture containing
the thus-formed alkali metal salt is then cooled and treated with
a suitable mineral acid, e.g., hydrochloric acid, to convert the
salt (IV~ to i~s corresponding acid form (V). The foregoing

precursor (II-b) is reacted wi~h an appropriate benzyl halide

benzyl chloride, in water, preferably under reflux conditions.
After cooling and treatment with mineral acid, the desired N-

may be prepared by quatérnization of the precursor (II-b) With
propansultone or butansultone, respectively tVIII~, in an a~ueous
solvent. Elevated temperatures may be employed to enhance the

acid, preferably after volume concentration, is employed to coun-
teract the sodium ion content followed by conventional treatmen~
with sui~able bases yielding sodium anion, e~g., sodium methylate
in methanol to yield the desired sodium alkylsulfonate derivative
(IX). In like manner, ~he compounds of formula (I) wherein R is
- sodium 2-hydroxypropylsulfonate, sodium 2-hydroxybutylsulfonate
or sodium 3-hydroxybutylsulfonate are obtained by quaternizing
