Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The Inside Cover picture shows how trifluoromethylated and perfluoroalkylated heterocycles can be prepared by continuous‐flow photoredox catalysis utilizing [Ru(bpy)₃] and blue light irradiation. Spectacular accelerations are observed in microreactors because of the homogeneous irradiation of the reaction sample and the optimal gas‐liquid mass transfer. The mild reaction conditions should facilitate the implementation of this methodology in both academia and industry.
