✦ Synopsis

It has been shown that methylation of p-toluenesulfonpyrrolidide takes place on nitrogen and the resulting species can be used as an selective tosylating reagent. 1)

On the other hand, Whiting and his co-workers have reported that both sulfonamides and sulfones react with aryldiazonium salts to give the corresponding 0-arylated compounds. 2) We particularly interested in the reactivities of the 0-arylated species in connection with those of the N-methylated species.

We report here the reaction of the salt(z) prepared from methylphenylsulfone(&;) with various nucleophiles.
