SulfonesQ 0600 Radical (Phenylsulfonyl)difluoromethylation with Iododifluoromethyl Phenyl

Sulfone. — Radical addition of the sulfone (I) to terminal alkenes results in selective formation of products of type (III). The latter can smoothly be converted into deiodi-nated derivatives like (IV) and fluorinated (E)-alkenes which are of synthetic and bio-logical interest. — (LI, Y.; LIU, J.; ZHANG, L.; ZHU, L.; HU*, J.; J.
