ABSTRACT
An efficient and metal-free approach for the divergent synthesis of 2-fluoro-3-aryl-4H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines α-trifluoromethyl-β-arylthio tertiary alcohols from 2-mercaptoimidazoles α-CF3 alkenes has been developed. The chemoselectivity was well controlled by base or light; a series were afforded via base-mediated sequential SN2′- SNV-type reactions. Meanwhile, could be selectively achieved through visible-light-driven electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex-initiated radical cascade thiolation/hydroxylation in absence base, transition metal, external photocatalyst.
