Novel and transition-metal-free,
room temperature, single step process for preparing aryl sulfones and
substituted aryl sulfones.
Aryl sulfones are useful as intermediates in
the synthesis of drugs eg rofecoxib and laropiprant; while substituted
aryl sulfones possess anticancer and anti-HIV activities.

Example 1: General Experimental Procedure for the Phosphorylation:
To a flame dried two-neck round-bottom flask containing CsF (5.50 equiv.) was added o-silyl aryl triflate (II) (1.00 equiv.) in acetonitrile, followed by addition of phosphorous compound of formula (III) (4.00 equiv.) in acetonitrile under argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature and the progress was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, acetonitrile was removed on rotary evaporator and the crude product was dried under high vacuum and purified by flash silica gel column using a gradient of ethyl acetate-petroleum ether to afford corresponding aryl-phosphorous compounds of formula (I) in good to excellent yields.

1. Raw materials are commercially available and inexpensive
2. One pot process
3. Room temperature process
4. The process is useful in generating chiral phosphine oxides under mild conditions that can serve as precursors to obtain novel aryl-phosphine ligands useful in organic synthesis. .
