Abstract
A novel method for visible-light photoredox-catalyzed difluoromethylation of electron-rich N-, O-, and S-containingheteroarenes under mild reaction conditions is developed. Mechanistic investigation indicates that the net C-H difluoromethylation proceeds through an electrophilic radical-type pathway.
