Selectivity and Charge Transfer in Photoreactions of α,α,α-Trifluorotoluene with Olefins

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19860690226

In photoreactions of α,α,α-trifluorotoluene with olefins, the mode of reaction strongly depends on the charge transfer between the starting materials.Substitution of an F-atom is prefferred if the electron transfer becomes exergonic, i.e. if ΔG < 0 accord
