A photoinduced reaction of potassium alkyltrifluoroborates,sulfur dioxide,and para-quinone methides under visible light irradiation at room temperature is developed,giving rise to diarylmethyl alkylsulfones in moderate to good yields.This reaction works well under photocatalysis with a broad substrate scope by using DABCO·(SO2)2 as the source of sulfur dioxide.Mechanistic study shows that this transformation is initiated by alkyl radicals generated in situ from potassium alkyltrifluoroborates in the presence of pho-tocatalyst.The subsequent insertion of sulfur dioxide and radical 1,6-addition of para-quinone methides with alkylsulfonyl radical intermediates afford the corresponding diarylmethyl alkylsulfones.
