title: Palladium-catalyzed desulfitative cross-coupling reaction of sodium sulfinates with benzyl chlorides.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of diarylmethanes from sodium sulfinates and benzyl chlorides is described. Various aromatic sodium sulfinates were used as aryl sources via extrusion of SO2 and gave the diarylmethanes in moderate to good yields.
