Solvolyses of methanesulfonyl chloride in water, $D^2O$, $CH^3OD$, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, eth-anol and methanol are investigated at 25, 35 and $45^{\circ}C.$ The Grunwald-Winstein plot of first-order rate con-stants for the solvolytic react ion of methanesulfonyl chloride with YCl (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) shows marked dispersions into three separate lines for three aqueous mixtures with a small m value (m < 0.30), and shows a rate maximum for aqueous alcoholic solvents. Stoichiometric third-order rate constants, kww and kaa were calculated from the observed first-order rate constants and (kaw + kwa) was calculated from the kww and kaa values. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed and/or SAN/SN2 reaction mechanism for methanesulfonyl chloride solvolyses based on mass law and stoichiometric solvation effect studies.

This report shows the rates of solvolyses for phenyl methanesulfonyl chloride ($C_6H_5CH_2SO_2Cl$, I) in ethanol, methanol, and aqueous binary mixtures incorporating ethanol, methanol, acetone, 2,2,2-trifluroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) are reported. Three representative solvents, studies were made at several temperatures and activation parameters were determined. The thirty kinds of solvents gave a reasonably precise extended Grunwald-Winstein plot, coefficient (R) of 0.954. The sensitivity values (l = 0.61 and m = 0.34, l/m = 1.8) of phenyl methanesulfonyl chloride (I) were smaller than those obtained for benzenesulfonyl chloride ($C_6H_5SO_2Cl$, II; l = 1.01 and m = 0.61) and 2-propanesulfonyl chloride ($(CH_3)_2CHSO_2Cl$, III; l = 1.28 and m = 0.64). As with the two previously studied solvolyses, an $S_N2$ pathway with somewhat ionization reaction is proposed for the solvolyses of I. The activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$, were determined and they are also in line with values expected for a bimolecular reaction mechanism. The kinetic solvent isotope effect of 2.34 in $CH_3OH/CH_3OD$ is in accord with a bimolecular mechanism, probably assisted by general-base catalysis.

The rates and activation parameters for the halide exchange reactions of methanesulfonyl chloride in dry acetone, acetonitrile, and methanol have been determined. It was found that nucleophilic order is Cl->Br->I-. The rate of chloride exchange with methanesulfonyl chloride decreases in the order of solvent; ($CH_3$)$_2$CO>$CH_3$CN》MeOH. Results are intrpreted in terms of easiness of the initial state desolvation and solvation stabilization of the transition state.

Solvolyses of methanesulfonyl chloride (CH3SO2Cl) in water and methanol have been studied theoretically using ab initio self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) molecular orbital method. All stationary structures including transition state on the potential energy surface in solution have been found and compared with the gas phase structures. The overall reaction occurs via a concerted SN2 mechanism with a non-cyclic trigonal bipyramidal transition state, and the activation barrier is lowered significantly in solution. The transition state for the hydrolysis reaction is looser than that for the methanolysis reaction, and this is in accord with the experimental findings that an SN2 type mechanism, which is shifted toward an SN1 process or an SAN process in the hydrolysis and alcoholysis reaction, respectively, takes place. The catalytic role of additional solvent molecules appears to be a purely general-base catalysis based on the linear transition structures. Experimental barrier can be estimated by taking into account the desolvation energy of nucleophile in the reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride with bulk solvent cluster as a nucleophile.

A successful rapid synthesis of dendritic benzyl chlorides from dendritic benzyl alcohols using methanesulfonyl chloride/$Et_3N$ as activating agents was described. In this method, each dendritic benzyl chloride can be prepared in one pot: no isolation of intermediate mesylated dendrons is required. The key steps in the syntheses of dendritic benzyl chlorides were the mesylation of the hydroxymethyl group followed by the chlorination by in-situ generated triethylammonium chloride.

Synthesis of perfluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride(PFMSF) which is a valuable precursor of perfluoro-chemicals such as surface modifier and fine chemicals was studied by electrochemical fluorination (ECF). In order to determine the termination of preelectrolysis, it was carried to monitor the variation of current during preelectrolysis by means of constant cell voltage operation. In a batch cell, chronopotentiometric electrolysis and various chemical analysis such as GC, GC/MS and If were used to understand the potential change of electrode and synthesis and control of hazardous gases products. Termination of preelectrolysis was determinated by measurement the current and/or detection of $F_2$ gas generation. And during the preelectrolysis, an amount of generated $OF_2$ was shown that a lot of moisture was absorbed from air when a cell was filled with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride( AHF ). Above 4V cell voltage, $F_2$ gas was generated and acted on any form of fluorinating agents. In the ECF of MSC (methane sulfonyl chloride) by constant current operation, the potential of anode was intimately relation with generation of $SO_2F_2$. Exchange of Cl to F was dominatly occured in a initial stage. There were various gaseous products including PFMSF as main product and $C_4$ compounds.

In this study, the efficient large-scale synthetic route for itraconazole, triazole antifungal agent, was developed. The original synthetic route for medicinal chemistry reported by Janssen Pharmaceutica was linear (14 linear steps) starting from 2,4-dichloroacetophenone with the total yield of 1.4%, and potential hazardous materials such as methanesulfonyl chloride ($CH_{3}SO_{2}Cl$), hydrogen gas, and sodium hydride (NaH) were used. Furthermore, the expensive 1-acetyl-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)piperazine and palladium were used in this medicinal chemistry route, thus the manufacturing cost would be practically high. In order to improve the commercial route, we developed the process of 12 step convergent synthesis combining two intermediates which are roughly halves of itraconazole with the total yield of 12.0%, and hazardous materials and expensive reagents were excluded in this process, thus the manufacturing cost could be cut down to a great extent.

Rates of reactions of methanesulfonyl chloride with various substituted anilines have been measured in methanol. Substituent effects in aniline are found to be linearly correlated with pKa(Bronsted relation with ${\beta}$ = 0.84) and ${\rho}$(Hammett equation with ${\rho}$ = -2.46) respectively. The results are interpreted in terms of degree of bond-formation at the transition state, which was found to have progressed relatively further. The rates for o-methylaniline deviated from the Bronsted plot established by meta and para substituted anilines because of a steric effect of ortho position in aniline. Activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ have also been determined. The enthalpy of activation showed a regular variation in that electron donating substituents in the p-substituted aniline decrease ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and increase the negative value of ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$.
