Photoinduced Halogen Atom Transfer of Alkyl Halides With N ‐Arylsulfenyl Phthalimides Toward Alkyl‐Aryl Sulfides

The sulfenylation of organohalides has become a powerful strategy for CS bond formation. However, methods for activating alkyl halides in this context remain scarce. Herein, we report a simple photocatalytic strategy that generates alkyl radicals from alkyl halides via halogen atom transfer. These radicals subsequently couple efficiently with N ‐arylsulfenyl phthalimides to afford alkyl‐aryl sulfides. This approach is transition‐metal‐free, operates under mild conditions, and exhibits a broad substrate scope.
