Visible-light-mediated difunctionalization of vinylcyclopropanes for the synthesis of 1-sulfonylmethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalenes

An efficient method for the visible-light-mediated sulfonylation/arylation of the C–C σ-bond in vinylcyclopropanes with sulfonyl chlorides to synthesize 1-sulfonylmethyl-substituted 3,4-dihydronaphalenes has been developed.
