RESUMEN
Benzo[1,3,2]dithiazole-1,1,3-trioxides are bench-stable and easy-to-use reagents. In photoredox catalysis, they generate methyl and perdeuteromethyl radicals which can add to a variety of radical acceptors, including olefins, acrylamides, quinoxalinones, isocyanides, enol silanes, and N-Ts acrylamide. As byproduct, a salt is formed which can be regenerated to the original methylating agent. Flow chemistry provides an option for reaction scale-up further underscoring the synthetic usefulness of these methylation reagents. Mechanistic investigations suggest a single-electron transfer (SET) pathway induced by photoredox catalysis.
RESUMEN
Access to original ortho thioether derivatives was achieved through a [3,3]-rearrangement in a one-pot two-step protocol. Several aryl-SCF3 compounds are reported by variation of the nitrile or of the trifluoroalkyl sulfoxide starting material. The variation of the perfluoroalkyl chain was also possible.
RESUMEN
Bicycloalkanes, cubanes and their structural analogues have emerged as bioisosteres of (hetero)arenes. To meet increasing demand, the chemical community has developed a plethora of novel synthetic methods. In this review, we assess the progress made in the field of light-driven construction and functionalization of such relevant molecules. We have focused on diverse structural targets, as well as on reaction processes giving access to: (i) [1.1.1]-bicyclopentanes (BCPs); (ii) [2.2.1]-bicyclohexanes (BCHs); (iii) [3.1.1]-bicycloheptanes (BCHeps); and (iv) cubanes; as well as other structurally related scaffolds. Finally, future perspectives dealing with the identification of novel reaction manifolds to access new functionalized bioisosteric units are discussed.
RESUMEN
We describe the direct synthesis of γ-fluoro enals from the corresponding silyl dienol ethers. This simple process operates under mild conditions and is compatible with a wide range of functionalities. The high γ regioselectivity of this protocol was rationalized by means of theoretical calculations.
RESUMEN
Over the last years, methods devoted to the synthesis of asymmetric molecules bearing a perfluoroalkylated chain have been limited in number. Among them, only a few can be used on a large variety of scaffolds. This microreview aims at summarizing these recent advances in enantioselective perfluoroalkylation (-CF3 , -CF2 H, -Cn F2n+1 ) and highlights the need for new enantioselective methods to easily synthesize chiral fluorinated molecules which would be useful for the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Some perspectives are also mentioned.
RESUMEN
A selective access to perfluoroalkyl selenoxides, via Oxone® as oxidant or to selenones by using a Polyoxometalate-based Ionic Liquid (POM-IL) as a catalyst for the oxidation step is described. The reaction works with various perfluoralkyl chains and substituents with satisfactory to excellent yields. A two-step one-pot reaction from selenocyanates was performed to gain access to perfluoroalkyl selenoxides. The previously unknown perfluoroalkyl selenoximines family was also prepared with good yields. Having unlocked two strategies for the synthesis of fluoroalkylated SeIV and SeVI compounds, we then evaluated the Hansch-Leo lipophilicity parameters of these groups. Finally, asymmetric aryl perfluoroalkyl selenoximines were resolved to determine their absolute configurations.
RESUMEN
We report herein a general and highly selective γ-functionalization protocol under visible light irradiation. This mild radical approach enables the expansion of the scope of application to unbiased enals and the introduction of a wide variety of alkoxy, amino and alkyl functionalities in the γ position with complete regioselectivity.

Site-selective trifluoromethylation of silyl dienol ethers derived from α,ß-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, and amides was achieved for the first time in the remote γ position. This photoredox catalyzed process is quite general to compounds bearing many functionalities and is applicable to the late-stage functionalization of biorelevant molecules. The use of S-perfluoroalkyl sulfoximines as ·RF radical sources enables the generalization of the reaction to other perfluoroalkyl groups (RF = CF2H, C4F9). Importantly, an unprecedented enantioselective C(sp3)-H perfluoroalkylation process is disclosed.
RESUMEN
Trifluorometylselenolation via C-H activation is barely described in literature. In particular, no such vinylic functionalization has been yet described. Herein, a palladium-catalyzed trifluoromethylselenolation of vinylic C-H bonds is described. The 5-methoxy-8-aminoquinoline has been used as auxiliary directing group to perform this reaction. The reaction gives excellent yields with α-substituted compounds whatever the substituents and a microwave activation can be used to accelerate the reaction. With ß-substituted substrates lower yields, but still satisfactory, are obtained. This methodology was also successfully extended to other fluoroalkylselenyl groups.
RESUMEN
Due to the high reactivity of alkoxyl (RO·) radicals and their propensity to easily undergo ß-scission or Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT) reactions, intermolecular alkoxylations involving RO· radicals are barely described. We report herein for the first time the efficient intermolecular trapping of alkoxyl radicals by silyl enol ethers. This photoredox-mediated protocol enables the introduction of both structurally simple and more complex alkoxy groups into a wide range of ketones and amides.
RESUMEN
The first light-driven method for the α-trifluoromethoxylation of ketones is reported. Enol carbonates react with N-trifluoromethoxy-4-cyano-pyridinium, using the photoredox catalyst 4-CzIPN under 456 nm irradiation, affording the α-trifluoromethoxy ketones in ≤50% isolated yield and complete chemoselectivity. As shown by 29 examples, the reaction is general and proceeds very rapidly under batch (1 h) and flow conditions (2 min). Diverse product manipulations demonstrate the synthetic potential of the disclosed method in accessing elusive trifluoromethoxylated bioactive ingredients.
RESUMEN
The synthesis of molecules bearing (trifluoromethylselenyl)methylchalcogenyl groups is described via an efficient two-step strategy based on a metal-free photoredox catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylselenolation with good yields up to 88 %, which raised to 98 % in flow chemistry conditions. The flow methods allowed also to scale up the reaction. The mechanism of this key reaction was studied. The physicochemical characterization of these emerging groups was performed by determining their Hansch-Leo lipophilicity parameters with high values up to 2.24. This reaction was also extended to perfluoroalkylselenolation with yields up to 95 %. Finally, this method was successfully applied to the functionalization of relevant bioactive molecules such as tocopherol or estrone derivatives.

We report herein a novel photoredox-catalyzed synthesis of allylic trifluoromethanes. The use of sulfilimino iminium as a source of trifluoromethyl radicals proves crucial to achieving high selectivity. Importantly, both styrene derivatives and unactivated alkenes are for the first time suitable partners for this process. The mild reaction conditions are compatible with a variety of functional groups. Remarkably, this method is readily broadened to other perfluoroalkyl groups (RF =CFCl2 , CF2 Br, C4 F9 ). An extensive mechanistic study is also provided.
RESUMEN
In this Review, we highlight recent advances in the understanding and design of N-functionalized pyridinium scaffolds as redox-active, single-electron, functional group transfer reagents. We provide a selection of representative methods that demonstrate reactivity and fundamental advances in this emerging field. The reactivity of these reagents can be divided into two divergent pathways: homolytic fragmentation to liberate the N-bound substituent as the corresponding radical or an alternative heterolytic fragmentation that liberates an N-centered pyridinium radical. A short description of the elementary steps involved in fragmentation induced by single-electron transfer is also critically discussed to guide readers towards fundamental processes thought to occur under these conditions.
RESUMEN
We report herein an efficient four-component photoredox-catalyzed reaction. Under the optimized conditions using [Ru(bpy)3(PF6)2] as the photocatalyst, a wide range of terminal and internal alkenes can efficiently undergo azidoalkoxy-trifluoromethylation in the presence of Umemoto's reagent, carbonyl compound, and TMSN3, giving rise to original and highly complex molecules in a single operation.
RESUMEN
A general protocol for functionalization of glycosyl thiols has been reported. This protocol is based on a single-electron Ni/photoredox dual-catalyzed cross coupling between 1-thiosugars and a broad range of aryl bromides and iodides as well as alkenyl and alkynyl halides. This base-free method gives access to a series of functionalized thioglycosides in moderate to excellent yields with a perfect control of the anomeric configuration. Moreover, it has been shown that this methodology may be transposed successfully to the continuous-flow photoredox chemistry.
RESUMEN
A general efficient one-pot synthesis of S-perfluoroalkylated NH-sulfoximines from sulfides has been developed using phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA) and ammonium carbamate. Remarkable rate enhancement with trifluoroethanol was observed, presumably due to H-bonding effects. These mild and metal-free conditions are compatible with -CH2 F, -CFCl2 , -CF2 H, -CF2 Br, -C4 F9 , and -CF3 groups, in both the alkyl- and aryl series. Based on a 19 Fâ NMR analysis, a λ6 -acetoxysulfanenitrile intermediate was proposed.
RESUMEN
Reported herein is a novel photoredox-catalyzed approach for ether synthesis and it involves alkoxyl radicals generated from N-alkoxypyridinium salts. A wide range of alkenes are smoothly difunctionalized in an anti-Markovnikov fashion, affording various functionalized alkyl alkyl ethers. Notably, this mild process tolerates a number of functional groups and is efficiently carried out under both batch and flow conditions. Importantly, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments by spin trapping were carried out to characterize the radical intermediates involved in this radical/cationic process.
RESUMEN
We describe the first gram scale preparation of the reagent dichlorotrifluoromethoxyacetic acid. This stable compound is obtained in five steps starting from the cheap diethylene glycol. The reactivity of the sodium salt of this fluorinated acid was also tested and allowed the preparation of new amides.

Reported herein is the use of S-perfluoroalkyl sulfilimino iminiums as a new source of RF radicals under visible-light photoredox catalysis (RF =CF3 , C4 F9 , CF2 Br, CFCl2 ). These shelf-stable perfluoroalkyl reagents, readily prepared on gram scale from the corresponding sulfoxide using a one-pot procedure, allow the efficient photoredox-induced oxyperfluoroalkylation of various alkenes using fac-Ir(ppy)3 as the photocatalyst. Importantly, spin-trapping/electron paramagnetic resonance experiments were carried out to characterize all the radical intermediates involved in this radical/cationic process.
