Abstract

In this Short Review, we discuss radical reactions using 1,2-bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene (BPSE), which has drawn significant attention as a versatile building block for (phenylsulfonyl)ethenylation. Regardless of its E or Z form, BPSE exhibits reliable reactivity towards the attack of alkyl and aryl radicals in order to function as a reliable radical C2 synthon.
