We disclose a Bi-catalyzed C–H trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes using CF3SO2Cl under light irradiation. The catalytic method permits the direct functionalization various heterocycles bearing distinct functional groups. structural and computational studies suggest that process occurs through an open-shell redox manifold at bismuth, comprising three unusual elementary steps for main group element. cycle starts with rapid oxidative addition to low-valent Bi(I) catalyst, followed by light-induced homolysis Bi(III)–O bond generate trifluoromethyl radical upon extrusion SO2, is closed hydrogen-atom transfer Bi(II) intermediate.
