Direct C(sp3)-H Trifluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkanes Enabled by Multifunctional Trifluoromethyl Copper Complexes

Geunho Choi et al.

Summary: A mild and operationally simple C(sp(3))-H trifluoromethylation method has been developed for unactivated alkanes using a bench-stable Cu-III complex as the initiator of the visible-light photoinduced reaction, as well as a source of trifluoromethyl radicals and trifluoromethyl anions for functionalization. The methylene-selective reaction mechanism involves radical-polar crossover and ionic coupling between the reactive carbocation intermediate and the anionic CF3 source, enabling efficient C-CF3 bond formation. This method can be applied for late-stage trifluoromethylation of natural products and bioactive molecules.

Lewis Acid Activation of Fragment-Coupling Reactions of Tertiary Carbon Radicals Promoted by Visible-Light Irradiation of EDA Complexes

Spencer P. Pitre et al.

Summary: The addition of tertiary carbon radicals from N-(acyloxy)phthalimide esters to cyclic alpha, beta-unsaturated ketones and lactones is greatly enhanced by substoichiometric amounts of Ln(OTf)(3). The reaction, which does not require a photosensitizer, is suggested to proceed through excitation of a ternary electron donor-acceptor complex between the NHPI ester, Hantzsch ester, and Ln(OTf)(3).
