Abstract

A mild and efficient three-component thio(seleno)cyano-difluoroalkylation of simple alkenes is demonstrated using an iridium(ruthenium) photocatalyst. This protocol provides a direct and regioselective installation of both C-S(Se)CN [thio(seleno)cyanation] and C-C<sub>F</sub> (difluoroalkylation) bonds.
