Metal- and oxidant-free photoinduced aromatic trifluoromethylation performed in aerated gel media: Determining the effects on yield and selectivity

In this work we have investigated the potential benefits of using supramolecular gel networks as reaction media to carry out air-sensitive metal-free light-induced trifluoromethylation of six-membered (hetero)arenes under aerobic conditions. This reaction was performed at room temperature (RT) using sodium triflinate (CF3SO2Na, Langlois' reagent) as a source of radicals and diacetyl as electron donor. The effects of confinement in gel media, concentration of reactants, and type of light source on yield and product distribution were evaluated and compared to the results obtained in homogeneous solution. Four different low molecular weight (LMW) gelators were employed in this study. The results confirmed the blocking effect of the gel medium against reaction quenching by external oxygen, as well as a certain control on the kinetics and selectivity.

Simple Photo-Induced Trifluoromethylation of Aromatic Rings

The trifluoromethylation of various aromatic compounds with Umemoto reagent II (2,8-difluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-5 H -dibenzo[ b, d ]thiophen-5-ium triflate) proceeded in moderate to good yields under simple photo-irradiation conditions without any cataly

Strongly Reducing, Visible-Light Organic Photoredox Catalysts as Sustainable Alternatives to Precious Metals

Photoredox catalysis is a versatile approach for the construction of challenging covalent bonds under mild reaction conditions, commonly using photoredox catalysts (PCs) derived from precious metals. As such, there is need to develop organic analogues as sustainable replacements. Although several organic PCs have been introduced, there remains a lack of strongly reducing, visible-light organic PCs. Herein, we establish the critical photophysical and electrochemical characteristics of both a dihydrophenazine and a phenoxazine system that enables their success as strongly reducing, visible-light PCs for trifluoromethylation reactions and dual photoredox/nickel-catalyzed C?N and C?S cross-coupling reactions, both of which have been historically exclusive to precious metal PCs.
