Abstract

Visible light photocatalytic cross-coupling and addition reactions of arylalkynes with perfluoroalkyl iodides have been developed. Through slight modifications of the reaction conditions, reactions that are selective for the preparation of the C-C coupling product (perfluoroalkyl alkynes) and the addition products (iodo-perfluoroalkyl substituted alkenes) can be achieved. These reactions work well with different types of alkynes and perfluoroalkyl iodides. As the iodide generated from the reaction can serve as a reductant to regenerate the photocatalyst from its oxidized form, no sacrificial electron donor is required.
