Visible‐Light‐Mediated C−H Difluoroalkylation of (Hetero)arenes: A New Application of Vibration‐Induced‐Emission Molecule 9,14‐Diphenyl‐dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Herein, we report a vibration‐induced emission molecule, 9,14‐diphenyl‐dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines (DPAC), compound‐catalyzed C−H difluoroalkylation of (hetero)arenes under visible light conditions. This method demonstrates the promising potential of vibration‐induced‐emission (VIE) molecules in photocatalysis and facilitates a metal‐free synthetic approach for difluoroalkyl (hetero)arenes with broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance.
