Direct reaction of nitroarenes and thiols via photodriven oxygen atom transfer for access to sulfonamides

Sulfonamide is a common motif in medicines and agrochemicals. Typically, this class of functional groups is prepared by reacting amines with sulfonyl chlorides that are presynthesized from nitro compounds and thiols, respectively. Here, we report a novel strategy that directly couples nitro compound...
