gem-Difluorohomoallyl amines, an important class of gem-difluoroalkenes, are prevalent moieties in many bioactive compounds. However, limited methods suitable for the synthesis this type compound containing secondary amines. Here, we display a photocatalytic multicomponent protocol gem-difluoroalkenes which makes use readily available materials: arylamines, alkyl aldehydes, and α-trifluoromethyl alkenes. Moreover, ketones amines also substrates. Preliminary mechanistic experiments indicate that key α-amino radical was involved, generated from reduction situ-formed imines (or iminium ions) by reduced photocatalyst. Subsequent addition to alkenes β-F elimination deliver desired products.
