Abigail G. Doyle et al. have developed a mild, photocatalytic method for diverse site-selective C (sp3)−H functionalisation:

  • Sulfonyl)amidation, azolation, hydroxylation, esterification, etherification, and halogenation.
  • Low-cost nucleophiles as coupling partners.
  • A novel organic photocatalyst used: CF3-4-CzIPN.
  • HAT-ORPC (oxidative radical-polar crossover) mechanism.
