Electrochemical reduction of fluoroalkyl sulfones for radical fluoroalkylation of alkenes

Abstract

Radical fluoroalkylation of alkenes has been developed by electrochemical reduction of fluoroalkyl sulfones. A series of electron-deficient alkenes readily undergo hydrofluoroalkylation in good to excellent yields. This chemistry represents the first example of electrochemical generation of fluoroalkyl radicals from sulfones, which are used for practical radical fluoroalkylation of organic compounds.
