[Ir{dFCF3ppy}2(bpy)]PF6

Application

The [Ir{dFCF3ppy}2(bpy)]PF6 is a versatile photoredox catalyst that, when used in combination with a nickel catalyst, facilitates the cross-coupling of C-sp3 hybridized trifluoroborates with aryl bromides under remarkably mild conditions. This catalyst also demonstrates its utility in achieving chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective trifluoromethylation of styrene, as well as enabling the synthesis of benzylic ethers through Ir/Ni dual catalytic systems. Furthermore, it is employed in catalytic olefin hydroamidation via proton-coupled electron transfer, and in the visible light photoredox cross-coupling of acyl chlorides with potassium alkoxymethyltrifluoroborates. Additionally, it contributes to the photoredox/nickel dual catalytic cross-coupling of secondary alkyl β-trifluoroboratoketones and esters with aryl bromides, and aids in the cross-coupling of trifluoroalkylboranes. Through these diverse applications, [Ir{dFCF3ppy}2(bpy)]PF6 serves as a key component in advancing modern synthetic methodologies.
