Here you go:

<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="html2php" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^(.+)\.html$" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}.php" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

Tested on IIS 7.5 with URL Rewrite module v2.0 -- works fine.
