However, a unified methodology to achieve oxy-, thio-, and seleno-trifluoromethylation remains elusive yet highly desirable. In this study, we report a triarylamine-catalyzed three-component vicinal chalcogen-trifluoromethylation of alkenes under blue light irradiation without the need of transition metal catalyst. This reaction is broadly applicable to oxy, thio, and seleno nucleophiles, facilitating modular access to a diverse array of β-trifluoromethyl alcohols, ethers, thioethers, thiocyanates, and selenocyanates with good yields and predictable regioselectivities (61 examples). Additionally, we demonstrate its application in the late-stage modification of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a catalytic electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex between triarylamine and the Umemoto reagent is key to enabling the radical/polar crossover process.展开更多

文摘Metal-free anti-Markovnikov hydroalkylation of unactivated alkenes with cyanoacetate has been developed,featuring the use of a dual-component initiator containing an organic photocatalyst and a radical precursor.When combined,the two components can undergo visible light-induced singleelectron transfer,and serve as a versatile and effective alkyl radical generator.

文摘We have reported that phenyliodonium diacetate[PhI（OAc）2] can serve as an eco-friendly mild oxidant for the epoxidation of alkenes in the presence of Mn（III） complex of meso-tetrakis（4-methoxyphenylporphyrin） acetate Mn[（T4-OCH3P）P]OAc and imidazole in CH2Cl2.The amounts of the products（%） and selectivities are very dependent upon the electronic and steric properties of the starting alkenes.To evaluate the validity of this catalytic system for C ＂H activation,cyclohexane and ethylbenzene were oxidized under the epoxidation conditions.
