Homolytic substitution at the sulfur atom of β-(phenylsulfanyl)vinyl radicals, obtained by radical reaction of benzenethiol with easily accessible alkyl 4-pentynyl sulfides, is a mild, effective, tin-free route for the generation of all types of alkyl radicals. This protocol can be employed in reductive defunctionalizations as well as cyclizations onto both electron-rich and electron-poor C-C double bonds.
