The process for the preparation of a compound of the following formula III ##STR4## in which X represents a bivalent group selected from the following:
- --(CH.sub.2).sub.m -- in which m is an integer from 1 to 3, ##STR5## Z represents the atoms required for completing a heterocyclic group comprising at least one 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclic ring which may have a benzene ornaphthalene ring condensed to it, said heterocyclic ring being selected from the group consisting of pyrroline, oxazoline, thiazoline, selenazoline, imidazole, oxazole, thiazole, selenazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole and pyridine
- n=0 or 1,
- Y represents halogen, an unsaturated aliphatic group having up to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having up to 6 carbon atoms or mercapto, or when Z completes a heterocyclic group comprising at least one pyrroline, oxazoline, thiazoline, selenazoline, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, pyridine or condensed naphthalene ring, Y may also be selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl and ethyl,
- in which process a heterocyclic base of the following formula I ##STR6## wherein Y, Z and n have the meanings already specified or a salt of such a base with an inorganic or organic acid is reacted with a hydroxyalkane sulfonic acid of a hydroxyalkene sulfonic acid corresponding to formula II
- HO--CH.sub.2 --X--SO.sub.3 H (II)
- in which X has the meaning already specified or with a metal salt or this acid at a temperature between 140.degree. and 200.degree. C. and water of reaction is removed from the reaction mixture.

The process for the preparation of a compound of the following formula III ##STR7## in which X represents a bivalent group selected from the following:
- --(CH.sub.2).sub.m -- in which m is an integer from 1 to 3, ##STR8## Z represents the atoms required for completing a heterocyclic group selected from the group consisting of pyridine, quinoline and isoquinoline
- n=0 or 1,
- Y represents an alkylthio group having up to 6 carbon atoms or methyl, in which process a heterocyclic base of the following formula I ##STR9## wherein Y, Z and n have the meanings already specified or a salt of such a base with an inorganic or organic acid is reacted with a hydroxyalkane sulfonic acid or a hydroxyalkene sulfonic acid corresponding to formula II
- HO--CH.sub.2 --X--SO.sub.3 H (II)
- in which X has the meaning already specified or with a metal salt of this acid at a temperature between 140.degree. and 200.degree. C. and water of reaction is removed from the reaction mixture.

- n=0,
- Y represents an alkylthio group having up to 6 carbon atoms, in which process a heterocyclic base of the following formula I ##STR12## wherein Y, Z and n have the meanings already specified or a salt of such a base with an inorganic or organic acid is reacted with a hydroxyalkane sulfonic acid or a hydroxyalkene sulfonic acid corresponding to formula II
- HO--CH.sub.2 --X--SO.sub.3 H (II)
- in which X has the meaning already specified or with a metal salt of this acid at a temperature between 140.degree. and 200.degree. C. and water of reaction is removed from the reaction mixture.

- n=0,
- Y represents alkylthio group having up to 6 carbon atoms, in which process a heterocyclic base of the following formula I ##STR15## wherein Y, Z and n have the meanings already specified or a salt of such a base with an inorganic or organic acid is reacted with a hydroxyalkane sulfonic acid or a hydroxyalkene sulfonic acid corresponding to formula II
