| Abstract: | Abstract The reaction of methane- and ethanesulfonyl chloride with selected diarylcadmium compounds was investigated. In contrast with arenesulfonyl chlorides which react with diarylcadmium to give sulfones in appreciable yields, ethanesulfonyl chloride did not yield sulfones. Methane-sulfonyl chloride gave sulfones in very poor yields. The major products were haloarenes, alkane-sulfinic acids and biaryls. Cross-over experiments revealed that the formation of biaryls involve an inter-not intra-molecular reaction (cf. eq. 4). |
