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.

The use of a trifluoromethylsulfonylpyridinium salt (TFSP), easily obtained by a one-step reaction of Tf2O with 4-dimethylaminopyridine, enables a trifluoromethylative difunctionalization of alkenes by photoredox catalysis. DMSO and CH3CN are suitable solvents for achieving keto- and amino-trifluoromethylation of alkenes, respectively, with good functional group tolerance.
