(S)-(+)-4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-(indole-3-)butyric acid, a novel fluorinated plant growth regulator
Katayama,Kato,Kimoto,Fujii
, p. 721 - 724 (1995)
Racemic 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(indole-3-)butyric acid (TFIBA) has been synthesized and shown to inhibit Avena coleoptile elongation. (S)-(+)-TFIBA, which was prepared by an enzymatic method and markedly promotes root growth of Chinese cabbage, lettuce and rice plants, is a novel fluorinated plant growth regulator. Activity of the (S)-(+)-enantiomer of TFIBA was 10-fold greater than that of the (R)-(-)-enantiomer in the first two plant species and 5-fold greater in rice.
Enantioselective friedel-crafts alkylation of indoles with trifluoroethylidene malonates by copper-bis(oxazoline) complexes: Construction of trifluoromethyl-substituted stereogenic tertiary carbon center

supporting information; experimental part, p. 2282 - 2285 (2011/05/17)
An enantioselective alkylation of indoles with trifluoroethylidene malonates catalyzed by copper(II)-bis (oxazoline) complexes has been developed. The expected adducts with a stereogenic tertiary carbon center bearing a trifluoromethyl group were obtained
