Synthesis of 1-perfluoroalkyl-3-heteroaryl bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes via visible light-induced and metal-free perfluoroalkylation of [1.1.1]propellane

Visible light-induced perfluoroalkylation of [1.1.1]propellane provides a sustainable way to incorporate perfluoroalkyl-substituted BCPs into various heterocycles.
