Synthesis of monofluorooxazoles with quaternary C–F centers through photoredox-catalyzed radical addition of methylene-2-oxazolines

A photoredox-catalyzed radical addition of methylene-2-oxazolines has been developed under visible light irradiation to synthesize monofluorooxazoles with quaternary C–F centers using 2-bromo-2-fluoro-3-oxo-3-phenylpropionates as radical source.
