Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling of haloarenes is the most widely used protocol for the synthesis of biphenyls. Organosulfur compounds are promising electrophiles since they are abundant in nature and versatile in organic synthesis. We report here the desulfinylative Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling of aryl sulfoxides with phenylboronic acids using bench‐stable nickel/5‐(2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyl)imidazolylidene[1,5‐ a ]pyridines as the catalyst. The ligands are readily prepared from common commercial chemicals. The method is applicable to both symmetric and unsymmetric aryl sulfoxides, and a range of biphenyls bearing various functional groups were obtained in up to 94% yield.
