Visible light-mediated cascade remote oxyfluoroalkylation of alkenes under mild conditions is developed for the first time. The key point of this transformation is the incorporation of alkene fluoroalkylation-initiated remote benzyl C-H bond activation via a 1,5-H shift in a highly controlled site-selective manner and Kornblum reaction with DMSO as the oxidant. With this method, a broad array of fluoroalkyl groups were introduced into a double bond to produce 1,6-fluoroalkylated ketones at room temperature In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as fac-Tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(cas: 94928-86-6Computed Properties of C33H24IrN3)
fac-Tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(cas: 94928-86-6) belongs to pyridine. Pyridine is very deactivated towards electrophilic substitution with respect to benzene. For this reason classical formylation, using methods such as the Gattermann or Vilsmeier reactions, are not generally successful. Computed Properties of C33H24IrN3
