We describe a novel reaction mode involving functional group migration, which is utilized for the radical-mediated remote desaturation of hexenenitriles. The reaction proceeds through consecutive alkene sulfonylation, intramolecular cyano migration, and single-electron oxidation of benzyl radical to cation followed by deprotonation, resulting in various densely functionalized alkenes. The protocol offers mild photocatalytic conditions, broad functional group tolerance, and high product diversity.
