RESUMO
A phosphonium ylide-based visible light organophotoredox catalyst has been designed and successfully applied to halohydrin synthesis using trichloroacetonitrile and epoxides. An oxidative quenching cycle by the ylide catalyst was established, which was confirmed by experimental mechanistic studies.

RESUMO
Regioselective ring-opening reactions of 2-aryl-N-tosylaziridines are described, in which hydrogen chloride is generated by photodegradation of trichloroacetonitrile. HCl adducts are obtained in high yields in 1,4-dioxane, whereas methanol adducts are predominantly obtained in methanol. Trichloroacetonitrile can serve as a photoresponsive molecular storage generator for hydrogen chloride.
