Abstract

A protocol for the preparation of substituted triarylethylenes (TAEs) was developed by using arylazo sulfones as substrates in the presence of 1,1-diarylethylenes. The process took place efficiently in the absence of any (photo)catalyst upon exposure of the reaction mixture to (simulated) sunlight.
