Abstract: We report the visible-light-induced trifluoromethylation of arenes and heteroarenes using sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate catalyzed by anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid. This reaction is a metal-free trifluoromethylation of arenes and heteroarenes catalyzed by a photoredox organocatalyst. Perfluoroalkylated arenes were also produced using sodium perfluoroalkylsulfinates.
