Sulfur trioxide pyridine complex is the compound with the formula C₅H₅NSO₃. It is a colourless solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents. It is the adduct formed from the Lewis base pyridine and the Lewis acid sulfur trioxide. The compound is mainly used as a source of sulfur trioxide, for example in the synthesis of sulfate esters from alcohols:[1]

ROH + C₅H₅NSO₃ → [C₅H₅NH]⁺[ROSO₃]⁻

It also is useful for sulfamations:

R₂NH + C₅H₅NSO₃ → C₅H₅N + R₂NSO₃H

The compound is used for sulfonylation reactions, especially in the sulfonylation of furans.[2] It is also an activating electrophile in a Parikh-Doering oxidation.[3]
