Org Lett. 2022 May 20;24(19):3576-3581. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.2c01358. Epub 2022 May 12.

Abstract

An environmentally friendly strategy for the photocatalyzed three-component reaction between quinoxalinones, alkenes, and hypervalent iodine(III) reagents is disclosed. The new designed difluoroiodane(III) reagent shows excellent reactivity, providing a wide range of difluoroalkyl-substituted quinoxaline-2(1H)-ones in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. Experimental studies demonstrated that a difluoroalkyl radical intermediate was involved in this reaction.
