Triphenylphosphine, iodide and -chloro-arylsulfonamides could generate amidyl radicals EDA (Electron Donor-Acceptor) complexes under visible light irradiation, and this strategy enables the synthesis of valuable δ-chloro-arylsulfonamide and -arylsulfonylpyrrolidine motifs in moderate yields. This blue LED-induced method utilizes more readily available reagents, providing advantages in terms of cost efficiency, broad substrate scope, and functional-group compatibility.

- - The study introduces a new chemical reaction that uses visible light to create complex compounds called trihalomethylated products without needing additional catalysts or metals.
- - The reaction effectively transforms a specific compound (2-hydroxy-2-hex-5-enenitrile) into valuable products, demonstrating versatility by also converting a different compound (benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)-pent-4-enol) into trihalo-hexanone.
- - This process operates under mild conditions, can handle various functional groups, and serves as a novel method for adding multiple functional groups to unactivated olefins.
