Functional group

  1. Photocatalysis enabled synthesis of trifluoromethyl amidines and imidates
    Photocatalytic metal-free synthesis of α-trifluoromethyl amidines and imidates using isocyanides and trifluoroacetylsilanes, with mechanistic insights from DFT studies.
  2. Indole-based synthesis yields α-perfluoroalkylamino derivatives
    Novel sequential perfluoroalkylation and defluoroamination of indoles via sulfinate-derived radicals and HMDS-mediated C-F cleavage, yielding α-trifluoromethylated amines in up to 80% yield.
