Hydroalkylation and hydroacylation of trifluoromethyl olefins by N-centered direct hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysis

The selective functionalization of trifluoromethyl olefins, while keeping the essential trifluoroalkyl moiety intact, remains a synthetic challenge. In this study, we report the use of an acridinium amidate as a direct hydrogen atom transfer (d-HAT) photocatalyst for the mild and...
