Application
The purpose of Ir[dFFppy]2-(4,4'-dCF3bpy)PF6 is to serve as an efficient photocatalyst that facilitates the trifluoromethylation of a wide range of alkyl and aryl halides under a dual catalytic copper/photoredox system. This compound effectively promotes the conversion of substrates into alkyl-CF3 and aryl-CF3 derivatives with high yields, showcasing broad substrate compatibility and excellent tolerance to various functional groups. It is particularly adept at transforming 5-membered and 6-membered heteroaryl halides into their corresponding trifluoromethylheteroarenes under mild conditions.
