Photoredox Catalysis A visible light-mediated [3+3] annulation of tertiary a
mines with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes was developed. The reaction offers a direct route to fluorinated tetrahydropyridines and azabicyclo[3.
m.1] frameworks under very mild conditions. This protocol presents a rare example of dual sp
3 C&
minus;H functionalization of tertiary a
mines with the formation of two different C&
minus;C bonds (one sp
3&
minus;sp
3 bond, one sp
2&
minus;sp
3 bond). Moreover, two consecutive C&
minus;F substitutions in a trifluoromethyl group were achieved in one-pot using visible light photoredox catalysis, which enables an unprecedented ring construction. More information can be found in the Communication by L. Zhou et al. on
