The sulfonyl (-SO2-) group can be eliminated from sulfones by reducing agents such as aluminum amalgam (Roy, K.-M. 2000. Sulfones and Sulfoxides. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
Sulfones are cleaved by alkali and alkali earth metals to form metal sulfinate salts and highly basic metal alkyls. In the presence of proton sources, alkanes are produced (E. M. Kaiser, Synthesis, 1972, (8), p. 391-415).
