Abstract

Primary and secondary alcohols were efficiently sulfonylated in the presence of silver (I) oxide and potassium iodide in dichloromethane. The sulfonylation occurs under mild, neutral reaction conditions. The ease of isolation of the final product presents a marked advantage over the known methodologies.
