Direct gem-difluoroallylation at the α-carbonyl position is a challenging process by conventional methods. Herein we report photocatalytic radical α-C(sp3)─H of amides with trifluoromethyl alkenes to access target compounds good yields and functional group tolerance. The mild effective conditions allow gem-difluoroalkene motifs as carbonyl bioisosteres incorporated concisely some complex molecules, including gemfibrozil estrone derivatives, presenting great potential for late-stage functionalization drugs, natural products, bioactive intermediates. Mechanistic investigations suggest pathway combining XAT 1,5-HAT.
