Diaryl Sulfones Through Oxidative Coupling of Catechols and Arylsulfinic Acids
A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of diaryl sulfones using the coupling reaction of in-situ generated o -benzoquinones, promoted by potassium ferricyanide, and arylsulfinic acids has been developed. High product yields, a short reaction time, and mild reaction conditions are important features of this method.
