We disclose a Bi-catalyzed C-H trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes using CF<sub>3</sub>SO<sub>2</sub>Cl under light irradiation. The catalytic method permits the direct functionalization of various heterocycles bearing distinct functional groups. The structural and computational studies suggest that the process occurs through an open-shell redox manifold at bismuth, comprising three unusual elementary steps for a main group element. The catalytic cycle starts with rapid oxidative addition of ...[more]
