Photoredox-Induced Three-Component Azido- and Amino­tri­fluoro­methyla­tion of Alkenes

Abstract

We report herein a photoredox-catalyzed azido­trifluoro­methyla­tion of alkenes. Under the optimized conditions using [Ru­(bpy)₃(PF₆)₂] as the photocatalyst and Umemoto’s reagent as the CF₃ source, a wide range of substituted styrenes as well as various activated and nonactivated alkenes can readily be difunctionalized, affording β-trifluoromethylated azides or amines in good yields
