Dehalogenative Cross-Coupling of gem-Difluoroalkenes with Alkyl Halides via a Silyl Radical-Mediated Process.
2021
Herein, we describe a convenient general protocol for monofluoroalkenylation reactions of alkyl bromides involving cooperative visible-light photoredox catalysis and halogen abstraction. Mechanistic experiments showed that the products were generated by selective cross-coupling of aliphatic radicals with fluoroalkenyl radicals. Silyl radical-mediated halogen abstraction enabled the protocol to be used for the monofluoroalkenylation of a broad range of alkyl and heteroaryl halides. The protocol could be carried out on a gram scale and was applied to cholesterol, indicating its utility for late-stage monofluoroalkenylation reactions.
