A green and convenient approach to symmetrical biaryls has been developed. The catalytic desulfitative homocoupling of various inexpensive and readily available sodium arylsulfinates in environment-friendly solvent, water, and under clean oxidant, molecular O2, afforded symmetrical biaryls in good yields. What's more, water can hold the noble catalyst PdCl2 for recycling several times easily, and facilitate separating insoluble organic product.
