Visible-light-induced direct perfluoroalkylation/heteroarylation of [1.1.1]propellane to diverse bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) under metal and photocatalyst-free conditions

This study describes a green and novel multi-component reaction for direct perfluoroalkylation/heteroarylation of [1.1.1]propellane with heteroarenes and perfluoroalkyl iodines to diverse bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs).
