Abstract

In this procedure dimethyl sulfate was used for preparation of symmetric diaryl sulfones. First, dimethyl sulfate was treated with pyridine, then activated by Tf 2 O to generate SO 2 as the functional group for synthesis of diaryl sulfones. It is noticeable that this reaction was carried out in moderate conditions and products obtained in short times and good yields.
