Synthesis of fluoroalkylated alkynes via visible-light photocatalysis

Org Biomol Chem. 2019 Feb 13;17(7):1758-1762. doi: 10.1039/c8ob02486c.

Abstract

Fluoroalkylated alkynes, which are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of various biologically active organofluorine compounds, were synthesized from easily available alkynyl halides and fluoroalkyl halides by visible-light photocatalysis. Addition of fluoroalkyl radicals to alkynes and subsequent dehalogenation selectively yielded fluoroalkylated alkynes.
