25. Substrates with certain electron-withdrawing groups (e.g., 3-cyanophenyl methanesulfonate) were transformed into mixtures of butyl ether and ester when the reaction was carried out in DMSO. Ether formation occurred without ligand and Pd in DMSO presumably via a base-mediated sulfonyl transfer mechanism: sulfonyl transfer occurs to form primary sulfonate and phenol, and phenol displaces primary sulfonate in the presence of base. This has been observed previously: Hughes, G.; Kimura, M.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 11253. This transformation was completely suppressed when the reaction was conducted in toluene or dioxane at 100°C.
