In the presence of a catalytic amount of a nickel salt, aryl tert-butyl sulfones react with aryl Grignard reagents to give biaryls.This reaction is used in conjunction with the powerful ortho-lithiation-directing ability of aryl tert-butyl sulfonyl groups to make unsymmetrical ortho-substituted biaryls.In certain cases, the substitution of an aryl alkylsulfonyl group by an organometallic reagent is possible without a transition metal catalyst.
