Late-stage trifluoromethylthiolation of benzylic C-H bonds

Fluoroalkylation of C-H bonds is a class of reaction highly sought after in medicinal chemistry. Here, the authors report a regioselective organophotoredox-catalyzed, trifluoromethylthiolation of benzylic C-H bonds for a wide variety of alkyl (hetero)arenes, and demonstrate its utility in continuous...
