Advantages of Sulfolane
• Versatile, can be used for a wide range of synthesis
• Highly polar
• High boiling Excellent chemical and thermal stability
• Totally miscible with water and aromatic hydrocarbons
• Aprotic (no acidic hydrogen atoms)
• Recoverable/Recyclable

Sulfolane may be used in processes for the formation of insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, chiefly due to the advantages provided by the non reactivity and high temperature profile of this polar inert solvent.
