Abstract

The greenhouse gas SF₅CF₃ acts as CF₃ source for the photocatalytic trifluoromethylation of arenes on using [Ir(dtbbpy)(ppy)₂]PF₆ (4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) as catalyst. The trifluoromethylation of C₆D₆ in the presence of 1-octanol results in the concomitant generation of 1-fluorooctane, presumably by intermediate SF₄.
