Metal-free photosensitized aminosulfonylation of alkenes: a practical approach to β-amido sulfones

Abstract

A general and environmentally friendly organic photo-induced strategy was developed for the synthesis of diverse alkyl-substituted β-amino sulfone derivatives, including primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl-substituted products. Various carboxylic acid derivatives from the simplest acetic acid to sterically bulky tertiary acids can participate in this transformation.
