Abstract
NaI catalyzes a highly chemoselective route to aryl methyl sulfones under mild conditions via an unexpected C-S bond formation between sulfonylhydrazides and dimethyl phosphite as a stable and readily available alkyl source. This transformation provides an alternative and metal-free pathway to various aryl methyl sulfones in very good yields.
