Process for the preparation of acyloxyalkanesulfonates of the formula R- -OA-SO₃M where R is C₅-C₂₁-alkyl or C₅-C₂₁-alkenyl, A is C₂-C₄-alkylene and M is a metal or ammonium ion, by neutralizing an acyloxyalkanesulfonic acid of the formula R- -OA-SO₃H in a non-aqueous medium, preferably in a C₂-C₄ carboxylic acid, with a metal or ammonium salt, a low molecular weight, organic carboxylic acid. |
