Abstract
Abstract α-Trifluoromethyl ketones are important fluorinated intermediates and products in chemical synthesis and medicinal development. Herein, visible light-catalyzed photoredox trifluoromethylation of 1-aryl-2-alkyl substituted alkenes using an electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagent to produce α-trifluoromethyl ketones is reported. Two possible pathways involving either a trifluoromethyl radical or a styrene radical cation are proposed and discussed.
