Visible-Light-Mediated Regioselective Chlorosulfonylation of Acrylamides

A one-step chlorosulfonylation of acrylamides via a photo-catalytic redox process is described. This reaction provides a-chlorosul-fonylamides with a quaternary center with high regioselectivity via radi-cal process. It is amenable to a broad range of substrates and the products are obtained in moderate to good yields.
