Abstract

A practical and unified strategy has been described for the preparation of CF3-containing oxindole derivatives using a visible-light-promoted trifluoroethylation reaction of N-arylacrylamides with trifluoroethyl iodide. These reactions could be carried out at room temperature in good to excellent chemical yields with good functional-group tolerance.
