Development and Application of a Recyclable High-Load Magnetic Co/C Hybrid ROMP-Derived Benzenesulfonyl Chloride Reagent and Utility of Corresponding Analogues.

The development and application of high-load, recyclable magnetic Co/C hybrid ROMP-derived benzenesulfonyl chloride and analogues is reported. The regeneration and utility of these reagents in the methylation/alkylation of various carboxylic acids is demonstrated via efficient retrieval of the magnetic reagent with a neodymium magnet. Additional reactions employing the analogue sulfonic acid and in situ generated magnetic benzenesulfonyl azide are also reported.
