A　novel,　visible-light-mediated　method　for　the　synthesis　of　2-sulfenylindenones　from　easily　available　thiophenols　(2.0　equiv.)　and　1,　3-diarylpropynones　(1.0　equiv.)　in　the　presence　of　eosin　Y　(0.02　equiv.)　under　air　atmosphere　has　been　developed.　The　reaction　proceeded　smoothly,　for　a　wide　range　of　derivatives　of　thiophenols　and　3-diarylpropynones,　to　give　the　expected　products　in　moderate　to　good　yields.　Compared　with　traditional　methods,　this　method　is　more　convenient　and　avoids　using　stoichiometric　amounts　of　I-2　and　K2S2O8.　[GRAPHICS]　.
