Lewis base–boryl radical-mediated activation of fluoroalkyl sulfones for radical hydrofluoroalkylation of alkenes via photoinitiation
Zhi-Qiang Ding, Yee Lin Phang, Yuan Peng, Dao-Kang Wu, Jie Wang, Yi-Feng Wang, Sen Qun, Tian YeLewis base–boryl radicals activate fluoroalkyl sulfones through C–S bond cleavage to generate fluoroalkyl radicals under mild photochemical conditions, enabling hydrofluoroalkylation of alkenes and providing access to diverse fluorinated molecules.
