Visible-Light-Mediated Sulfonylimination of Tertiary Amines with Sulfonylazides Involving Csp3-Csp3 Bond Cleavage

Visible-light-induced cross-coupling of arylsulfonyl azides with tertiaryamines in the presence of Eosin Y at room temperature has been achieved. This transformation features alkyl C-C bond cleavage and provides a green approach to N-sulfonylamidines under mild conditions.
