Visible light-mediated trifluoromethylation of fluorinated alkenes via C−F bond cleavage

A convenient photoredox‐catalyzed defluorinative trifluoromethylation of α‐trifluoromethyl alkenes and gem‐difluoroalkenes is developed. The reactions proceeded efficiently via trifluoromethyl radical addition followed by β‐fluorine elimination process, providing a new entry to multifluorinated alke...

Description
Summary:A convenient photoredox‐catalyzed defluorinative trifluoromethylation of α‐trifluoromethyl alkenes and gem‐difluoroalkenes is developed. The reactions proceeded efficiently via trifluoromethyl radical addition followed by β‐fluorine elimination process, providing a new entry to multifluorinated alkenes in moderate to good yields with excellent stereoselectivity.
