Abstract

AbstractHerein, we reported a novel method to synthesize α‐trifluoromethylated ketones from enol triflates. Involving a cascade sulfur dioxide extrusion and a CF3 (trifluoromethyl) radical addition process, this reaction proceeds at room temperature and is driven by visible light irradiation. This protocol bears good functional group compatibility, which can generate the desired products in good to excellent yields even in gram scale. It is hoped that this approach to generate CF3 radicals from enol triflates can be used in other radical‐involved reactions.magnified image
