Catalytic reduction of trifluoromethylated alkyl bromides and synthesis of alkylated heterocycles under visible light irradiation: synergetic action of a halogen bond and Ni catalysis

Abstract

The concurrent reduction of α-trifluoromethyl alkyl bromides and the cross-coupling of THF with heterocycles in one pot have been realized through synergetic action of a halogen bond and Ni catalysis.
