Hazard Predictions

The sulfonyl (-SO2-) group can be eliminated from sulfones by strong reducing agents such as alkali metals in ammonia or sodium amalgam. Sulfur dioxide is eliminated from unsaturated, cyclic sulfones by finely divided potassium (Roy, K.-M. 2000. Sulfones and Sulfoxides. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).

Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
