A novel rhodium‐catalyzed desulfinative coupling between aldehydes and arenesulfinic acid sodium salts was developed, generating a new protocol for the synthesis of aryl ketones. Most importantly, the coupling reaction uses molecular oxygen (O 2 ) as the oxidant and finally releases sodium hydrogen sulfate (NaHSO 4 ) from the reaction system; furthermore, this reaction occurs without the need for any additives.
