A visible-light-induced desulfonylative Giese-type reaction has been developed. Essential to the success is the employment of Hantzsch ester to activate benzothiazole sulfones without any heavy-metal additives. Not only benzylic benzothiazole sulfones but also alkyl ones were viable substrates and reacted with electron-deficient alkenes and a propiol amide.
