Abstract
A visible light‐induced transition metal‐free benzylic C(sp3)−C(sp2) defluorinative coupling between indole derivatives and polyfluoroarenes via the sequential electron transfer‐proton transfer (ET/PT) process has been developed, affording various polyfluorinated diarylmethanes. This protocol features mild conditions and good functional group tolerance.
