An organic photoredox-catalyzed dehydroxylative trifluoromethylation of allylic alcohols was developed in an environmentally benign manner. In this reaction, the readily available CF3SO2Na was selected as the trifluoromethylation reagent. The in situ generated byproduct SO2 was reutilized to activat...
