Let's play dominoes with SF 6 : The photoredox catalytic activation of SF 6 in the presence of a‐substituted styrenes and alkynols initiates a reaction sequence that consecutively forms a C−O bond, a C−C bond and a C−SF 5 bond, one after another. Finally, this domino reaction yields pentafluorosulfanylated oxygen‐containing heterocycles in a single step. These new compounds bear a complex structure and broaden the scope of pentafluorosulfanylated building blocks for chemical synthesis in the future.
