Abstract
Herein, we report an organic photoredox-catalyzed hydroazidation of trifluoromethyl alkenes with user-friendly trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3), enabling a direct access to a broad range of valuable β-CF3-azides with exclusive selectivity under mild reaction conditions. The synthetic utility of this reaction was demonstrated by the late-stage modification of complex drug derivatives, scale-up of the reaction and diverse further derivatizations of the β-CF3-azide product.

Abstract
A mild and transition-metal-free defluorinative alkylation of benzyl amines with trifluoromethyl alkenes is reported. The features of this protocol are easy-to-obtain starting materials, a wide range of substrates, and functional group tolerance as well as high atom economy, thus offering a strategy to access a variety of gem-difluorohomoallyl amines, which are extensively distributed in pharmaceuticals and bioactive agents, with excellent chemoselectivity. The primary products can be further transformed to a diversity of 2-fluorinated pyrroline compounds.

Abstract
Herein, we report a photoredox enabled defluorinative benzylation of trifluoromethyl alkenes with readily available alkylarenes, which provides convenient access to a series of structurally valuable benzylated gem-difluoroalkenes under mild reaction conditions. The synthetic value of this protocol has been demonstrated by the transformations of several substrates bearing drug moieties, gram-scale reactions, and various further derivatizations of the gem-difluoroalkene products. The preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a reaction pathway with rate-determining benzyl C-H bond cleavage of toluene followed by benzylic radical formation.
