Visible-Light-Induced Tandem Reaction of Allenes withSelenesulfonates Leading to (E)-2,3-Disulfonylpropene Derivatives

A visible-light-induced tandem reaction of alleneswith selenesulfonates was developed, providing (E)-2,3-disulfonyl-propene derivatives in moderate to good yields. This reaction wasfeatured with simple operation, good regioselectivity and stereo-selectivity, and wide functional group tolerance. Photoinducedradical additions via energy transfer were proposed
