The Fe‐catalyzed decomposition of sulfonylhydrazones gives rise to sulfones. The reaction is quite general and allows the preparation of sulfones from a variety of aryl, alkyl, and α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Crossover experiments reveal that the reaction is an intermolecular process, which may proceed by nucleophilic attack of the sulfinate anion on an iron carbene complex.
