Synthesis of fluoroalkylated alkynes via visible-light photocatalysis†
Abstract
Fluoroalkylated alkynes, which are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of various biologically active organofluorine compounds, were synthesized from easily available alkynyl halides and fluoroalkyl halides by visible-light photocatalysis. Addition of fluoroalkyl radicals to alkynes and subsequent dehalogenation selectively yielded fluoroalkylated alkynes.
