Nd@g-C3N4 Dual-Functional Photocatalysis Enabled Fluoroalkylative
Heteroarylation of Alkenes with RfSO2Cl as Both the Fuoroalkyl Radical
and Chloride Radical Source
Abstract
Semiconductor dual-functional photocatalysis composed of selective
organic oxidation and reduction has attracted increasing a ttention
owing to the green and environmental advantages. Herein, the Nd@g-C
3N 4 dual-functional photocatalysis
enabled fluoroalkylative heteroarylation of alkenes with R
fSO 2Cl under visible-light and
ultrasound conditions was firstly reported. The photogenerated
electron-driven reductive production of fluoroalkyl radical paired with
photogenerated hole-driven oxidative production of chloride radical
resulted in the full utilization of photogenerated carrier for bond
formation. The use of sono-photocatalysis enhances both energy
efficiency and the rate of chemical reactions. A wide range of
N-heteroarenes, alkenes and R fSO
2Cl, were well compatible for this reaction to access
valuable fluoroalkylated N-heteroarenes with diverse structural
features. We anticipate that this report will provide a sustainable
synthetic protocol for fluoroalkylated N-heteroarenes but also
develop the photoinduced chloride radical-mediated reaction and the
dual-functional photocatalysis.
