Abstract
A photoredox strategy to access β-sulfonated cyclopentanones from the reaction of vinyl cyclobutanols with sulfonyl chlorides is described. This reaction employs the inexpensive and easily accessible sulfonyl chlorides as a sulfonyl radical source. The present synthetic protocol is a convenient way to prepare β-sulfonated cyclopentanones.
