An efficient three-component radical iodosulfonylative cyclization of enynes is described. The visible-light irradiation of iodoform with sulfinates enables sulfonyl radical generation under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions and triggers the radical addition, cyclization and iodination cascade reactions, giving various vinyl iodide containing sulfones in moderate to good yields.
