The direct incorporation of trifluoromethyl group and derivatives has witnessed widespread interest over the last decades 1 Nowadays, the fluoroalkylation of organic molecules is finding numerous applications in cutting-edge technologies from life sciences to material applications. Indeed, the presence of a fluoroalkyl group on a molecule can alter its physico-chemical properties and increases its lipophilicity as well as its metabolic stability. The development of selective transformations affording such fluorinated molecules is therefore highly desirable. In this context, transition metal catalyzed direct trifluoromethylation has been employed for a long time to forge C-fluoroalkyl bonds. More recently, photocatalysis has turned out to be an interesting alternative to leverage the orthogonality of transition metal catalysis through the selective generation of a fluoroalkyl radical, which, in the presence of an appropriate reactant, will yield to the desired product. Although a plethora of methodologies have been developed in the last decade for the selective fluoroalkylation of aliphatic alkenes and alkynes under photoredox conditions 6 , the use of styrene reactants turns out to be particularly challenging. Indeed, unproductive polymerization or oxidation is favored in the latter compared to aliphatic alkenes, which constitutes a major hurdle towards more elaborate functionalization based on radical additions. While nucleophilic trapping has been used for the functionalization of styrene, the hydrotrifluoromethylation of styrene derivatives has been scarcely studied. This challenge has been addressed by Choi et al. who used inorganic electride as a radical generator (3 equivalents) in their procedure to achieve this transformation.
