Tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-one 1-oxide 1 and sulfinyl-di-tert-butylpropionate 2 were reported as sources of bis-sulfenate anion and applied in a double pallado-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction for the synthesis of symmetrical biarylsulfoxides, tolerating a large array of electronic properties and bulkiness. The photophysical properties of a biarylsulfoxide have been explored, demonstrating an unreported TADF phenomenon on sulfoxide-containing scaffolds.
