Abstract

Abstract When treated with nitrogen dioxide and ozone in inert solvent at 0 C or below, aryl sulfides underwent smooth oxidative nitration to give nitroaryl sulfones in good yield. Using this methodology, a series of mono-and di-nitrated aryl sulfones were prepared from methyl phenyl sulfide and diphenyl sulfide and their physical data are presented.
