Abstract

Sulfonyl compounds are useful raw materials for engineering plastics which are clear and thermostable. The synthesis of diaryl sulfones and disulfonyl compounds has been extensively studied and reviewed.'Z Generally, diaryl sulfones have been prepared from aromatic compounds by two-or three-step reactions via aryl sulfonic acids or sulfonyl chlorides.
