Palladium-Catalyzed Desulfonylative Homo-Coupling of Arylsulfonyl Chlorides in the Presence of Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide

Abstract
The desulfonylative homo-coupling of arylsulfonyl chlorides efficiently proceeds on treatment with titanium(IV) isopropoxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2(PhCN)2 to give the corresponding biaryls in good yields.
