Continuous-Flow Synthesis of Alkyl Zinc Sulfinates for the Direct Photofunctionalization of Heterocycles

A sustainable strategy for the alkylation of heterocycles is presented. The protocol relies on the in-situ generation and further in-line use of alkyl zinc sulfinates through a continuous-flow system. The environmentally friendly character of the protocol is assured by the use of a green solvent mixture, the presence of a metal free oxidant and low waste generation.
