Abstract
An efficient and novel visible-light-promoted radical difluoromethylation of enol acetates for the synthesis of α-CF2H-substituted ketones has been described. Upon irradiation under blue LED with catalytic amounts of fac-Ir(ppy)3, this photocatalytic procedure employs difluoromethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide as a radical precursor. Various α-CF2H-substituted ketones are successfully created via designed systems based on the SET process. The methodology has also provided an operationally simple process with broad functional group compatibility.
