Visible‐light‐mediated vinyl‐thiophosphate formation via three‐component denitrative cross‐coupling reaction

A three‐component denitrative cross‐coupling reaction mediated by visible light has been developed. Various 2‐arylvinyl thiophosphate compounds were synthesized with moderate‐to‐good yields using cheap, nontoxic, nonvolatile, and nonhygroscopic elemental sulfur (S8) as the raw material. These transformations allow the direct formation of C‐S and S‐P bonds without metal catalyst via a one‐pot procedure.
