Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Direct sulfonylation between alkenes and sulfonyl chloride was achieved at room temperature by a visible-light-induced photo­redox process. This method allows the chemoselective synthesis of α-chloro and vinyl sulfone derivatives with moderate to high yields. The selectivity of the reaction was fully controlled by the electronic properties of the alkenes.
