Abstract
AbstractHere we report a light‐induced FeCl3‐catalyzed approach for benzyl C−H chlorination with remarkable regioselectivity, which enables alkylbenzenes to be converted into versatile benzyl chlorides under mild conditions using trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride (TfCl) as the chlorine source. DFT calculations show that the dynamics preference of benzylic α−C−H chlorination is more pronounced by employing TfCl.
