Visible-light-induced radical cyclization of N-allylbenzamides with CF3SO2Na to trifluoromethylated dihydroisoquinolinones in water at room temperature

An efficient strategy for the preparation of trifluoromethylated dihydroisoquinolinones via visible-light induced radical cyclization of N-allylbenzamides with CF₃SO₂Na was developed.
