Photoinduced EnT-mediated sulfonamidylimination of alkenes and (hetero)arenes with iminophenylacetic acid oxime esters.

A photoinduced EnT-mediated generation of sulfonamidyl radicals has been accomplished using rationally designed iminophenylacetic acid oxime ester reagents under metal-free conditions. This approach offers a mild, regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of N-sulfonyl diamines via diamination of alkenes and (hetero)arenes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
