title: Palladium-catalyzed direct α-arylation of methyl sulfones with aryl bromides.
abstract: A direct and efficient approach for palladium-catalyzed arylation of aryl and alkyl methyl sulfones with aryl bromides has been developed. The catalytic system affords arylated sulfones in good to excellent yields (73-90%).
