Dual ligand-enabled iron and halogen-containing carboxylate-based photocatalysis for chloro/fluoro-polyhaloalkylation of alkenes

Abstract

Herein, we demonstrate a practical dual ligand-enabled iron photocatalysis paradigm—translating all kinds of halogen-containing carboxylates (CnXmCOO−, X: F, Cl, Br) into CnXm radicals for the valuable chloro/fluoro-polyhaloalkylation of non-activated alkenes...
