Heterogeneous Visible‐Light Photocatalysis in Continuous‐Flow: A Synergistic Strategy for Challenging Trifluoromethylation of <i>α, α</i> ‐Diaryl Allylic Alcohols via 1,2‐aryl Migration
with 43% isolated yield in 12 h). The method shows broad substrate compatibility, obtaining β-trifluoromethyl-α-aryl ketones in 54%-88% yields from 23 allyl alcohols. The scalability is confirmed with a gram-scale preparation, and the intermediate is converted into a bioactive molecule via an integrated multi-step continuous-flow process. This work provides a sustainable, efficient strategy for synthesizing fluorinated compounds of pharmaceutical relevance.
