An efficient and simple approach for the direct synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl sulfonic esters was developed using DMS and DES as alkoxysulfonylation reagents. The reaction is operationally simple and scalable. This protocol does not require solvent, expensive catalysts, base, ligand additives or other reagents. A wide range of sulfonic esters were synthesized in moderate to good chemical yields. This method has the advantage of low cost, facile and tolerated a wide range of substrates.
