Reactions of sulfonyl chlorides with olefins catalyzed by dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) have been studied. Methanesulfonyl and arenesulfonyl chlorides added to 1-alkenes to give 1:1 adducts in high yields. Telomer formation is not observed, therefore the present reaction provides a general and convenient method for synthesis of β-chlorosulfones. A radical-chain mechanism is proposed for the reaction.
