Visible-Light-Induced Photoredox Anti-Markovnikov Hydroalkoxylation and Hydration of α‑Trifluoromethyl Alkenes

Herein, a visible-light-induced photoredox anti-Markovnikov hydroalkoxylation and hydration of α‑trifluoromethyl alkenes has been developed to give a straightforward access to structurally valuable β-trifluoromethyl ethers and alcohols. This robust protocol features synthetic advantages including facile metal-free and mild conditions, broad functional group tolerance, high chemoselectivity, and gram-scalability.
