Remote C−H phenylation via radical generation, translocation, and phenyl migration. Sulfonylation conditions: ClSO2Aryl, Me3N·HCl, Et3N, ROH in CH2Cl2 at 0 °C or ClSO2Aryl, Me3N, ROLi in THF at 0 °C, see Supplementary Methods. Variation of the alcohol. Phenylation of tertiary and secondary C(sp3)−H bonds. For the latter, moderate to excellent stereoselectivities are obtained and only the major diastereoisomer is drawn, if applicable (Fig. 3)
