Alkyl radicals are obtained by photocatalytic oxidation of readily prepared or commercially available zinc sulfinates. The convenient benzylation and alkylation of a variety of electron-poor olefins triggered by the iridium(III) complex 6 Ir[dF(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6 as photocatalyst is described. Moreover, it is shown that zinc sulfinates can be used for facile nonradical sulfonylation reactions with highly electrophilic Michael acceptors.

Direct generation of a benzyl radical by C-H bond activation of toluenes and the addition reaction of the resulting radical to an electron deficient olefin were developed. The reaction of dimethyl fumarate with toluene in the presence of Et3B as a radical initiator at reflux afforded 2-benzylsuccinic acid dimethyl ester in good yield.
