Abstract
Cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions (CDCs) are considerably more step- and atom efficient compared to classical cross coupling methods. In this context, the photochemical CDCs of hydrochlorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons with methylarenes are herein described. This unprecedented CDC reaction concept enables a new retrosynthetic cut for the selective construction of valuable chlorinated and fluorinated organic skeletons, from industrially important dichloromethane, dichloroethane, difluoromethane (HFC-32), and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a).
