Radical-mediated functionalization streamlines access to complex synthetic targets. Now, a sulfonium-based donor–acceptor pair enables photoinduced charge-transfer interactions to access electronically diverse aryl radicals. Reaction with enol ethers or isocyanide provides a metal-free method for arene functionalization.
