[Ir{dFCF3ppy}2(bpy)]PF6

Reaction

1. Catalyst used for the chemo-, regio, and stereoselective trifluoromethylation of styrene.
2. Photoredox catalyst used in cross-coupling: Ir/Ni dual catalysts for the synthesis of benzylic ethers.
3. Iridium complex used for catalytic olefin hydroamidation enabled by proton-coupled electron transfer.
4. Catalyst used for visible light photoredox cross-coupling of acyl chlorides with potassium alkoxymethyltrifluoroborates.
5. Iridium catalyst used in the photoredox/nickel dual catalytic cross-coupling of secondary alkyl β-trifluoroboratoketones and –esters with aryl bromides.
6. Photocatalyst used in the cross-coupling of trifluoroalkylboranes.

Uses

When used in tandem with a nickel catalyst, the above photoredox catalyst effects the cross-coupling of C-sp³ hybridized trifluoroborates with aryl bromides under exceptionally mild conditions.
