Abstract

An efficient, practical photocatalytic deoxygenation/defluorination protocol provides γ,γ-difluoroallylic ketones from commercially available aromatic carboxylic acids and α-trifluoromethyl alkenes in the presence of triphenylphosphine. The protocol offers good functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope.
