title: Nafion-H catalysed sulfonylation of aromatics with arene/alkenesulfonic acids for the preparation of sulfones1a.
abstract: Synthesis of both symmetric and unsymmetric diaryl/aryl alkyl sulfones is easily achieved by Friedel-Crafts type sulfonylation of aromatics with suitable arene- or alkane-sulfonic acids in the presence of Nafion-H, a perfluorinated resinsulfonic acid catalyst.
