Described herein is a visible-light-driven chlorotrifluoromethylative and chlorotrichloromethylative cyclization reaction to synthesize chlorotrifluoromethylated and chlorotrichloromethylated cyclic compounds. Visible-light photochemistry was utilized to generate trifluoromethyl and trichloromethyl radicals and trigger radical addition/cyclization/chlorination sequences. The use of terminal alkene-derived enynes enables the regioselective and stereoselective synthesis of chlorotrifluoromethylated and chlorotrichloromethylated pyrrolidines, piperidines, and cyclopentanes.
