Stereoselective synthesis of β-fluorostyrene derivatives has been achieved. Selective isomerization of -bromofluoroalkenyl benzenes bearing various -substituents is enabled by using Ir photocatalysts with high triplet energy. Subsequent one-pot transition-metal (TM)-catalyzed reactions enable pot-economical synthesis of monofluoroalkenes in a stereoselective manner.
