Abstract
A novel and efficient synthesis of sulfones was developed via silver-promoted decarboxylative sulfonylation reaction between aromatic carboxylic acids and sodium sulfinates for the first time. The approach features operational simplicity, good functional group compatibility as well as using readily available starting materials. Furthermore, mechanistic studies reveal that the decarboxylative sulfonylation reaction is likely to proceed via a radical mechanism.
