Abstract
Decatungstate photocatalysis enables a direct conversion of strong, aliphatic C(sp3)-H bonds into the corresponding alkyl sulfinic acids . This transformation has been applied to a diverse range of C(sp3)-rich scaffolds, including natural products and approved pharmaceuticals, providing efficient access to complex sulfur-containing products.
