We report herein a photoredox-catalyzed azidotrifluoromethylation of alkenes. Under the optimized conditions using [Ru(bpy)3(PF6)2] as the photocatalyst and Umemoto's reagent as the CF3 source, a wide range of substituted styrenes as well as various activated and nonactivated alkenes can readily be difunctionalized, affording β-trifluoromethylated azides or amines in good yields.
