Fluorinated Alkyl Zinc Bromides in Cu/Photoredox Promoted Decarboxylative Cross‐Coupling

The cross‐coupling of esters of N‐hydroxyphthalimide with fluorinated alkyl zinc reagents resulting in the C(sp 3 )−C(sp 3 ) bond formation is described. The method involves readily accessible perfluorinated and tetrafluorinated alkyl zinc bromides. The reaction is performed under copper and photoredox dual catalysis conditions.
