Abstract

A green, efficient, photoinduced synthesis of arylboronic esters and aryl sulfides has been developed. Bench stable arylazo sulfones were used as radical precursors for a photocatalyst- and additive-free carbon–heteroatom bond formation under visible light. The protocols are applicable to a wide range of substrates, providing products in good yields.
