Hydrodifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes enabled by Visible‐Light Photocatalysis

Abstract In the present manuscript, we have reported a general catalytic strategy that allows the synthesis of a variety of difluoro methylated alkanes from the corresponding unactivated alkenes using commercially available radical difluoromethylating reagent (CF 2 HSO 2 Na) under visible light photocatalysis. Further, this strategy allows the late‐stage modification of various alkenes derived from pharmaceutically relevant drugs.
