Abstract

The eosin Y-catalyzed hydroperfluoroalkylation of electron-deficient alkenes is described herein. The reaction proceeded smoothly under visible light irradiation and selectively afforded a hydroperfluoroalkylated product. Various perfluoroalkyl bromides and electron-deficient olefins can be used in this reaction, and all chemicals required for this reaction are safe and readily available.
