Aryl methansulfonates 3 (18 examples) were easily prepared by thermal decomposition of dry arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides 1 in methanesulfonic acid (2). The reactions were carried out at temperatures between 60 and 120°C for times between 0.5 and 8 h. The aryl methanesulfonates were obtained in reproducible yield of 70-90%, with few exceptions. In all cases the o-benzenedisulfonimide (4) could be recovered in good yields which can then be reused to prepare the salts 1. When thermal decomposition of salts 1 was carried out in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (5) at 90-120°C for 1-2 h, aryl trifluoromethanesulfonates 6 were obtained in 73-78% yield (3 examples).
