Visible-light-induced surfactant-promoted sulfonylation of alkenes and alkynes with sulfonyl chloride by the formation of an EDA-complex with NaI in water at room temperature

We report an efficient visible-light-induced iodosulfonyl reaction of alkenes in water using an EDA complex strategy at room temperature. The addition of a cationic surfactant allows for the easy formation of colored EDA complexes in water.
