Abstract

Herein, we report the sustainable semiheterogeneous synthesis of various fluoroalkylated N -heteroarenes using natural intrinsic iron(II) titanium oxide (FeTiO 3 ) as a semiconductor photocatalyst and Ph 3 N as a redox mediator. This synergistic system combines photogenerated electron-mediated fluoroalkyl sulfonyl chloride (R f SO 2 Cl) reduction with photogenerated hole-induced oxidative dehydrogenation aromatization, enabling high-yielding transformations with excellent functional-group tolerance while avoiding stoichiometric redox reagents or sacrificial electron donors/acceptors.
