This work describes a general strategy for metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of fluoroalkyl radicals with aryl halides under electrochemical conditions. The contradiction between anodic oxidation of fluoroalkyl sulfinates and cathodic reduction of low-valent nickel catalysts can be well addressed by paired electrolysis, allowing for direct introduction of fluorinated functionalities into aromatic systems.

It is highly attractive and challenging to utilize carbon dioxide (CO2), because of its inertness, as a nontoxic and sustainable C1 source in the synthesis of valuable compounds. Here, we report a novel selective carboxylation of C(sp3)?F bonds with CO2 via visible-light photoredox catalysis. A variety of mono-, di-, and trifluoroalkylarenes as well as α,α-difluorocarboxylic esters and amides undergo such reactions to give important aryl acetic acids and α-fluorocarboxylic acids, including several drugs and analogs, under mild conditions. Notably, mechanistic studies and DFT calculations demonstrate the dual role of CO2 as an electron carrier and electrophile during this transformation. The fluorinated substrates would undergo single-electron reduction by electron-rich CO2 radical anions, which are generated in situ from CO2 via sequential hydride-transfer reduction and hydrogen-atom-transfer processes. We anticipate our finding to be a starting point for more challenging CO2 utilization with inert substrates, including lignin and other biomass.

The reaction of nucleophilic tertiary amines with trifluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl methyl ethers provides quaternary ammonium trifluoromethoxide (NR4OCF3) and pentafluoroethoxide (NR4OCF2CF3) salts, respectively, in good yields. The new trifluoromethoxide salts disclosed herein are uniquely stable for extended periods of time in both the solid state and in solution, which complements contemporary reagents. Here we describe the preparation of a range of NR4OCF3 salts, their long-term stability, and utility in substitution reactions.
