Polysulfone, any of a class of resinous organic chemical compounds belonging to the family of polymers in which the main structural chain most commonly consists of benzene rings linked together by sulfonyl (―SO2―), ether (―O―), and isopropylidene (―C(CH3)2―) groups.

Is a catalyst in transesterification of specific oils and fats. Almost all oils and fats can be transesterified using potassium catalysts (e.g. for biodiesel production).

Is an amorphous material obtained from the sulfite pulping of softwood. The lignin framework is a sulfonated random polymer of three aromatic alcohols: coniferyl alcohol, p-coumaryl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol, of which coniferyl alcohol is the principle unit.

Is the ester of cinnamic acid and ethanol. It is present in the essential oil of cinnamon. Pure ethyl cinnamate has a "fruity and balsamic odor, reminiscent of cinnamon with an amber note"
