Here we report the direct conversion of strong, aliphatic C(<i>sp</i><sup>3</sup>)-H bonds into the corresponding alkyl sulfinic acids via decatungstate photocatalysis. This transformation has been applied to a diverse range of C(<i>sp</i><sup>3</sup>)-rich scaffolds, including natural products and approved pharmaceuticals, providing efficient access to complex sulfur-containing products. To demonstrate the broad potential of this methodology for the divergent synthesis of pharmaceutically relev ...[more]
