title: Arylation of lithium sulfinates with diaryliodonium salts: a direct and versatile access to arylsulfones.
abstract: An efficient, transition-metal-free arylation of lithium sulfinates, which are readily accessible from reactions of organolithium reagents with sulfur dioxide, is described. Based on this method, a practical protocol for the direct transformation of (hetero)arenes and (hetero)aromatic halides into diarylsulfones was developed.
