Intermolecular radical reactions involving formal addition of the sulfonyl and allyl fragments of an allylic sulfone across the double bond of an alkene are described. Reactions are most successful when the allylic sulfone has an electron withdrawing group at the 2-position. Only monosubstituted alkenes give useful yields of adducts, though both electron withdrawing and electron donating substituents are effective.
