Recently, on finding that homogeneous quaternary am-monium halide catalyzed alkyl halide exchange1 never had been systematically explored, we used this process to de-velop a rapid, simple, solvent-free method for bromide-chloride, chloride-iodide, and bromide-iodide exchange and applied it to high-yield syntheses of certain,-hetero dihalides. 2 The ability to achieve, in particular, reversible chloride-iodide exchange encouraged us to attempt the unprecedented homogeneous conversion of alkyl halides to alkyl sulfonates; some initial successes are reported herein. Although, historically, the major role of sulfonate ions has been as leaving groups in SN1 or SN2 type processes, Zefirov noted recently3 that nucleophilicity scales such as the Swain-Scott scale “completely ignore the nucleophilic properties of... such a typical nucleofuge as the p-toluenesulfonate ion”. Indeed, Kevill4 has demonstrated the ability of arenesulfonate ions (as tetrabutylammonium salts) to reactin SN2 fashion with trimethyl-and tri-ethyloxonium ion, methyl triflate, and methyl perchlorate, and MacDonald has reported oxidatively assisted displacement of iodide by tosylate. 5 However, unassisted SN2 type displacement of halideions by sulfonate ions has not been previously demonstrated. Synthetically, alkyl sulfonates usually are made from the correspondingalcohols or from halides through the agency of silver sulfonates. 6 In our approach to halide-sulfonate exchange, two ob-servations from Cl-I exchange were used: High temper-atures were needed to achieve practical rates (> 160 C for Cl-I), and R'X in eq 1 had to be selectively distilled out (1)(a) Schwesinger, R.; Fritz, H.; Prinzbach, H.
