The use of TFSP, a readily available trifluoromethylation reagent prepared from DMAP and Tf2O, enables a general method for the hydrotrifluoromethylation of styrenes under photoredox catalysis without polymerization. The substrate scope was further extended to unactivated alkenes, acrylates, acrylamides, and vinyl-heteroatom-substituted alkenes.

Intermolecular aminotrifluoromethylation of alkenes catalyzed by [Ru(bpy)3]2+ under visible light irradiation achieves highly efficient and regioselective difunctionalization of C═C bonds, leading to various β-trifluoromethylamines. The reaction is also applied to "late-stage aminotrifluoromethylation" of steroid and amino acid scaffolds.
