Regioselective methanesulfonylation of toluene catalysed by cation-exchanged zeolite β

Abstract

The reaction of methanesulfonic anhydride with toluene over various cation exchanged zeolite beta catalysts affords higher para-selectivity and better yields of methyl tolyl sulfone than standard Friedel–Crafts sulfonylation utilising aluminium chloride.
