An operationally simple, efficient, and metal-/peroxide-free three-component reaction of alkynes, iodine, and sodium sulfinates has been developed for the construction of highly functionalized tetrasubstituted alkenes. Iodo- and sulfonyl-containing tetrasubstituted alkenes, such as vinyl ketones, allylic alcohols, and conjugated enynes, could be obtained regio- and stereoselectively in up to 96% yield.
