A simple and mild Mn(OAc) 3 ‐promoted oxidative coupling of 1,4‐dimethoxybenzenes with sodium and lithium sulfinates was developed. The reaction proceeded readily at room temperature in air, and various sulfones were synthesized in moderate to high yields. In addition, a straightforward approach for the conversion of organolithium reagents and sulfur dioxide into sulfonylated 1,4‐dimethoxybenzenes was explored.
