Light-mediated cascade transformation of activated alkenes: BiOBr nanosheets as efficient photocatalysts for the synthesis of α-aryl-β-trifluoromethyl amides†
Abstract
A facile light-induced, BiOBr nanosheet promoted one-pot tandem transformation of activated alkenes is presented. A wide variety of acyclic α-aryl-β-trifluoromethyl amides are synthesized via the consecutive trifluoromethylation/aryl migration/desulfonylation and N–H bond formation process.
