Abstrakt: A 3-component metal-free carbosulfonylation of alkynes is reported using readily available alkyl carboxylic acids and arylsulfinates under visible light irradiation. This photochemical approach gives direct conversion of sp-C to sp3-C yielding highly functionalized alkyl sulfones. It employs feedstock chemicals as starting materials and shows a broad substrate scope and moderate diastereoselectivity. The method’s utility is highlighted in the synthesis of sedum alkaloids. A single photocatalyst is proposed to be active in two distinct photocatalytic cycles operating in tandem.
