Forging C?SeCF ₃ Bonds with Trifluoromethyl Tolueneselenosulfonate under Visible?Light

This account highlights some of our recent work on photoinduced trifluoromethylselenolation reactions. research program relies primarily the design a new key shelf-stable selenating reagent that can be involved in various radical processes In particular, we demonstrated arenes, alkenes, alkynes as well aliphatic organic building blocks readily achieved under visible-light irradiation. Mechanistic investigations based 19F NMR studies, EPR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and luminescence studies allowed us to shed light different proposed mechanisms designed methodologies. The applicative potential these strategies was further through synthesis bioactive analogue containing SeCF3 motif.
