An electrochemical synthesis of vinyl, alkyl, and allyl sulfones using sodium sulfinates and olefins was reported. This method uses direct current to pass through an undivided cell equipped with graphite carbon electrodes, and a series of diverse sulfone compounds can be synthesized at room temperature in high yields.
