Trifluoromethyl phenyl sulfone is traditionally a nucleophilic trifluoromethylating agent. Herein, we report the first example of the use of trifluoromethyl phenyl sulfone as a trifluoromethylradical precursor. Arylthiolate anions can form electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes with trifluoromethyl phenyl sulfone, which can undergo an intramolecular single electron transfer (SET) reaction under visible
