A novel visible-light-promoted selective sulfonylation and selenylation of dienes with selenosulfonates has been developed. This technology provides mild access to a wide range of sulfonyl benzo[b]azepinones and seleno-benzo[b]azepines. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the sulfonylation involves a sulfonyl radical engaged cascade process, and the selenylation is accomplished through a sequential oxidation/electrophilic cyclization process. The large-scale operation and late-stage modification experiment reveal the promising utility of this protocol.
