Photoredox-catalyzed sulfonylation of difluoroenoxysilanes with the insertion of sulfur dioxide

A photoredox-catalyzed three-component reaction of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates with sodium metabisulfite and 2,2-difluoro enol silyl ethers is described, providing α,α-difluoro-β-ketosulfones in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.
