Abstract

An alkylative carbosulfonylation protocol for the formation of C-S and C-C bonds between sulfinate salts and readily available alkenes under visible light irradiation is reported. This approach formally couples two alkene molecules to give access to highly functionalized sp3 sulfone products following two sequential radical additions. Homocoupled and polarity mismatched cross-coupled products were obtained. The utility of the methodology is highlighted by further transformations of the novel sulfone products.
