Tri- and di-fluoroethylation of alkenes by visible light photoredox catalysis

Abstract

The tri- and di-fluoroethylation of alkenes with sulfonium salts, (Ph2S+CH2RF TfO) (RF = CF3 or HCF2), by visible light photoredox catalysis to give tri-/di-fluoroethyl alkenes or methoxytri-/di-fluoroethylation products are described. It was found that varying the reaction solvent led to changes in the reaction path.
