Visible-light-induced and EDA complex-driven multicomponent reaction: a strategy for the synthesis of α-CF3-β-phosphorodithioate tertiary alcohols

A practical, environmentally friendly, visible-light-driven and EDA complex-promoted method for the synthesis of α-trifluoromethyl-β-phosphorodithioate tertiary alcohols in the absence of metals, photocatalysts and oxidants has been reported.
