This research paper describes the development of a unified synthesis of diverse sulfonyl fluorides using photoredox-catalyzed dehydrogenative couplings. A library of 32 probes was created and screened against *Trypanosoma brucei*, identifying four with sub-micromolar anti-trypanosomal activity. Chemical proteomics revealed that the anti-trypanosomal activity likely arises from covalent modification of multiple protein targets.
