General description

Methanesulfonic anhydride is an organic compound that is commonly used as a reagent for the preparation of methyl sulfonates (mesylates). It is also used in the synthesis of methanesulfonamides using various amine precursors. Additionally, the mixture of methanesulfonic anhydride and dimethyl sulfoxide can be used as an oxidizing agent for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones.

Regioselective methanesulfonylation of simple aromatics using methanesulfonic anhydride can be achieved over zeolite catalysts. For example, methanesulfonylation of toluene over various cation-exchanged zeolite beta catalysts affords higher para-selectivity in the synthesis of methyl tolyl sulfone than standard Friedel-Crafts methanesulfonylation utilising
