Unlocking the direct photocatalytic difluoromethylation of CN bonds?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2020-02-27 DOI: 10.1039/D0CC01353F

Abstract

The current study presents a direct CF2H radical addition to C[double bond, length as m-dash]N bonds predicated on the photocatalytic activation of commercially available zinc difluoromethanesulfinate. The mild conditions in place lead to impressive structural diversity, as quinoxalinones and dibenzazepines, among others, are successfully functionalized.
