Abstract
gem-Difluoroalkenes and monofluorinated cycloalkenes have emerged as basic structural units in a variety of bioactive molecules and natural products. Thus, developing straightforward and efficient methods for synthesizing fluorinated alkene compounds is of considerable significance. Herein, we disclose a visible-light-induced defluorination of 2-trifluoromethyl-1-alkene via a 1,5-HAT process using N-alkoxyphtalimides as both radical precursor and potential nucleophile. The mild and stepwise reaction leads to a variety of structurally diverse gem-difluoroalkenes and monofluorinated cyclooctenes with high efficiency, respectively.

Abstract
The increasing demand of organofluorine compounds in medicine, agriculture, and materials sciences makes sophisticated methods for their synthesis ever more necessary. Nowadays, not only the C-F bond formation but also the selective C-F bond cleavage of readily available poly- or perfluorine-containing compounds have become powerful tools for the effective synthesis of organofluorine compounds. The defluorinative cross-coupling of trifluoromethyl alkenes with various nucleophiles or radical precursors in an SN 2' manner is a convergent route to access gem-difluoroalkenes, which in turn react with nucleophiles or radical precursors via an SN V-type reaction. If the SN V reactions occur intramolecularly, the dual C-F bond cleavage of trifluoromethyl alkenes allows facile assembly of monofluorinated cyclic skeletons with structural complexity and diversity. In this personal account, we summarized the advances in this field on the basis of coupling and cyclization partners, including binucleophiles, alkynes, diradical precursors and radical precursors bearing a nucleophilic site. Accordingly, the annulation reactions can be achieved by base-mediated sequential SN 2'/SN V reactions, transition metal catalyzed or mediated reactions, photoredox catalysis, and the combination of photocatalytic reactions with SN V reaction. In the context of seminal works of others in this field, a concise summary of the contributions of the authors is also offered.

Abstract
Alkyl boronic acids and their derivatives constitute vital building blocks in organic synthesis and are important motifs identified in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we present a phototriggered, CuCl2-catalyzed radical hydroalkylation and hydrosilylation of vinylboronic esters to alkylboronic esters. This approach exhibits mild reaction conditions, utilization of easily accessible reagents, and scalability up to a gram scale. Further synthetic transformations of the hydrosilylation products and mechanistic studies are also demonstrated.

Abstract
Pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates are usually used to develop ionic annulation reactions. However, radical reactions were rare. We developed a photoredox catalyzed [3 + 2]-annulation reaction of pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates with alkenes, disclosed the new reactivity of pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolate, and provided a new synthetic method for dihydrothiophene.

Abstract
A highly diastereoselective Pd(0)-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction of gem-difluoroalkenes is described. Unlike previously reported C-F bond functionalization with organometallic reagents, this reaction takes place between two different alkenes to achieve a formal C-F and C-H bond cross-coupling via a distinct pathway. Monofluorinated 1,3-diene products can be synthesized with control of the geometry of each alkene and good functional group tolerability.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylthio-arylsulfonylation between 1,3-enynes, AgSCF3, aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, and SO2 (from SOgen) is presented, which could introduce sulfone, SCF3, and allene moieties into one molecule simultaneously. This strategy features mild reaction conditions, good substrate compatibility, and excellent regioselectivity. The products obtained have the potential for further conversion into other valuable compounds. Initial investigations into the reaction mechanism suggest that it may proceed via a radical pathway. Notably, SOgen was proven as a uniquely effective SO2 surrogate in this transformation.

Abstract
The auxiliary function of a carbonyl group in the tunable defluorophosphination and defluorophosphorylation of trifluoromethylated enones with P(O)-containing compounds was demonstrated. Controlled replacement of one or two fluorine atoms in trifluoromethylated enones while maintaining high chemo- and stereoselectivity was achieved under mild conditions, thus enabling diversity-oriented synthesis of skeletally diverse organophosphorus libraries─(Z)-difluoro-1,3-dien-1-yl phosphinates, (1Z,3E)-4-phosphoryl-4-fluoro-buta-1,3-dien-1-yl phosphinates, and (E)-4-phosphoryl-4-fluoro-1,3-but-3-en-1-ones─in good yields with excellent functional group tolerance.
