Blue light-promoted radical sulfoximido-chalcogenization of aliphatic and aromatic alkenes

Abstract

A transition metal-free synthesis of N-(arylthio/seleno)ethyl sulfoxidmines via blue light-promoted radical sulfoximido-chalcogenization of aliphatic and aromatic alkenes was developed. The sulfoximidation process demonstrated high chemoselectivity and allowed a broad substrate scope, completing the sulfoximido-chalcogenization of alkenes in good yields.
