β-(Hetero)arylethylamines are privileged structural motifs found in many high-value organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and natural products. To construct these important molecular skeletons, previous methods mainly achieved by amino(hetero)arylation reaction with the aid of transition metals preactivated substrates. Herein, we report a metal-free photoinduced intermolecular for single-step installation both (hetero)aryl iminyl groups across alkenes an efficient regioselective manner. This method shows broad scope (up to 124 examples) excellent tolerance various olefins─from simplest ethylene complex multisubstituted can all participate reaction. Furthermore, aminosulfonylation be also conducted presence sodium bisulfite as SO2 source.
