Popis: A catalyst-free strategy for regioselective hydroxydifluoroalkylation of alkenes with alkyl bromides was developed, affording a series of difluoroalkylated tertiary alcohols in moderate to good yields. This photocatalyst-free protocol shows broad substrate scope under mild conditions. Moreover, mechanistic studies revealed that a newly identified electron donor-acceptor complex is crucial to this transformation.
