Visible Light‐Induced Oxygen‐Doped g‐C₃N₄ Catalyzed Aryltrifluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes with CF₃SO₂Na: A Heterogeneous and Recyclable Approach Without Metals or Oxidants
This approach utilizes visible light to catalyze trifluoromethylation in organic compounds, suggesting a greener method for synthesis.
Key Points
Trifluoromethylation reactions generate moderate to good yields of products like dihydroisoquinolinones and indolines, demonstrating effective synthesis.
A visible light-responsive oxygen-doped g-C3N4 serves as a heterogeneous photocatalyst, outperforming conventional metal-based systems.
Methanol-free methods show potential for practical applications, with recyclability tests indicating sustained reactivity across multiple cycles.
This green chemistry approach minimizes environmental impact by avoiding metals and strong oxidants during synthesis.
