• addition. Therefore, anti-Markovnikov products are generally not observed. b) In contrast to the reactions with HBr (peroxide effect) [31][32], the formation of anti-Markovnikov products is low even in the presence of peroxides or photochemical activation. For instance, Whitmore and co-workers observed

• degradation of SF6 [17][18]. Other elegant approaches have described the use of SF6 as precursor of reagent for fluorination or pentafluorosulfanylation. Very interestingly, the photochemical activation of this gas was described and allowed the in situ transformation of alcohols into alkyl fluorides [19][20

• Leuven, Leuven, Belgium 10.3762/bjoc.16.202 Abstract Photochemical activation routes are gaining the attention of the scientific community since they can offer an alternative to the traditional chemical industry that mainly utilizes thermochemical activation of molecules. Photoreactions are fast and

Most of the works concerned cascade intramolecular reactions in which a C–C bond is formed after the initial trifluoromethylation. Therefore, Lipshutz and co-workers reported a copper-catalysed intramolecular

There are some examples of high diastereoselectivity in the coupling of radicals generated from azo compounds [10][11], in intramolecular coupling of radicals, that are obtained by photochemical activation [12][13][14

Hence, the initial thermally induced dissociation of a CO ligand is more favourable than carbene dissociation in agreement with the DFT calculations (vide supra). Similarly, photochemical activation

These facts led us to initiate an investigation on the photochemical activation of vinyl azides and the trapping of the intermediate nitrile ylides 3 [19] by different dipolarophiles exploiting the advantages of photo flow-chemistry [20][21]. Here, we report on

However, the experimental setup required for the reaction provides problems, as distinctive light sources such as γ-rays or high-intensity UV irradiation are required
