Photo-driven redox-neutral decarboxylative carbon-hydrogen trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes with trifluoroacetic acid

C–H bond functionalization has become an important tool for many organic transformations, however such reactions typically require stoichiometric amounts of external oxidants. Here the authors report the photo-driven decarboxylative C–H trifluoromethylation of arenes using only low amounts of oxidan...
