Palladium complexes are among the most versatile catalysts that are capable of constructing a variety of bonds.[1, 2] Consequently, fundamental studies on palladium complexes have a great impact on the design and understanding of practical catalytic processes. Studies on reductive elimination to form C¿ X bonds (X= CF3, C, O, Cl, F) from PdIV complexes have recently been achieved.[3–5] Despite the importance of sulfur-containing products,[6] related mechanistic studies on C¿ S bond-forming reactions are rare.[7] Herein we report the synthesis, characterization, and study of novel palladium (IV) sulfinate complexes. We describe the first direct observation of C¿ S bond-forming reductive elimination from PdIV complexes.[1c] Sulfonyl chlorides are convenient and versatile reagents for both palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and palladium-catalyzed C¿ H bond oxidation.[8–10] Dubbaka and Vogel have reported cross-coupling reactions involving sulfonyl chlorides that occur by C¿ C reductive elimination with loss of SO2.[9] In contrast, we have observed C¿ H bond oxidations that presumably occur by C¿ S reductive elimination to produce sulfones.[10] While Vogel s cross-coupling reaction occurs via Pd0/PdII species, chelation-assisted C¿ H bond oxidation reactions are thought to occur via high-valent Pd species.[11, 12] However, direct evidence for C¿ S reductive elimination from high-valent Pd species has been elusive.[13]Inspired by this challenge, we aimed to 1) explore sulfonyl chlorides as oxidants for PdII and 2) study reductive elimination from palladium (IV) sulfinate complexes. Based on the previous reports,[4, 5] we chose [Pd (phpy) 2](1, phpy= 2-phenylpyridyl) as the model complex for our initial investigations. Rigid and electron-rich C, N ligands are known to stabilize PdIV centers and promote the formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds.[4, 5] Indeed, treatment of complex 1 with 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (2a) in dichloromethane at room temperature for 20 minutes resulted in the desired palladium (IV) sulfinate complex 3a, which was isolated as a yellow solid (66% yield; Table 1,
