The room temperature chemistry of organo-sulfur esters with NaX zeolite

Dimethyl sulfite a potential agent for methylation

“…This result could be explained by the inhibition of the catalyst by SO 2 gas, or by monomethyl sulfite species formed during the reaction. 22 Experiments were performed with different solvents in the presence of acidic aluminium oxide. With a non-polar solvent such as toluene (entry 4), we observed similar results than in the absence of solvent (entry 2).…”
