Abstract
A photocatalytic decarboxylative/defluorinative reaction of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes with α-keto acids and α-amino acids has been developed. The reaction occurs at room temperature under visible light irradiation, affording various γ,γ-difluoroallylic ketones and 1,1-difluorohomoallyl amines in good yields. The synthetic applications of the resulting functionalized gem-difluoroalkenes were also described.
