Organophotocatalytic acyltrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes enabled the efficient synthesis of CF 3 -substituted chroman-4-ones

organophotocatalytic acyltrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes. This method offers mild conditions, a wide range of substrates and compatibility with different functional groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that this catalytic system may involve an oxidative quenching process.
