Copper-catalyzed regioselective C-H sulfonyloxylation of electron-rich arenes with p-toluenesulfonic acid has been developed. Electron-rich benzene derivatives and heteroarenes can undergo this C-H sulfonyloxylation reaction to generate aryl tosylates. Furthermore, sulfonyloxylation of aryl(mesityl)iodonium sulfonates has also been investigated.

Furthermore, the ring-openings have been found in the longer N-N single bond by analyzing the length change of N-N bond of ring-shaped isomers in ring-opening processes.
