A convenient synthesis of sulfones using zinc mediated coupling reaction of sulfonyl chlorides with alkyl halides in aqueous media

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808007009

An efficient procedure for the preparation of sulfones has been developed through a simple reaction of aromatic sulfonyl chlorides with suitable alkyl halides mediated by commercial zinc powder in aqueous media at 0 °C ~ room temperature.
