As a new transformation of organosulfur compounds, intramolecular desulfitative coupling of diaryl sulfones to the corresponding biaryls has been developed with the aid of nickel-NHC catalysts. This catalytic elimination of SO2 was also applicable to alkenyl aryl sulfone to furnish the corresponding alkenyl arene.
