The synthesis of diarylsulfones with simple arenes and K2S2O8 through double C-S bond formation

An unprecedented double C-S bond formation method has been developed to prepare both symmetric and unsymmetric diarylsulfones with simple arenes in a single step. This represents the first example that K2S2O8 can be employed as a highly effective sulfonating agent to synthesize diarylsulfones. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, good functional group tolerance and high yields.

MoO2Cl2 as a novel catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation and sulfonylation

The use of MoO2Cl2 as a novel catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation and sulfonylation is described. A series of aromatic ketones and sulfones were prepared in moderate to good yields using acyl chloride or sulfonyl chloride in the presence of MoO2Cl2 (20 mol %), under solvent-free conditions.
