Abstract

The synergistic interactions of the organic dye-type photocatalyst eosin Y, KI, and Cs2CO3 enable a decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction of cinnamic acids with sulfonylhydrazides under visible light irradiation using oxygen as the sole terminal oxidant to provide vinyl sulfones at room temperature.
