In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

Molecules containing trifluoromethoxyaryl groups are of interest in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science research, due to their unique physical and electronic properties. Many of the known methods to synthesize aryl trifluoromethyl ethers require harsh reagents and highly controlled reaction conditions and rarely occur when heteroaromatic units are present. The two-step O-trifluoromethylation of phenols via aryl xanthates is one such method that suffers from these drawbacks. Herein, we report a method for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ethers from phenols by the facile conversion of the phenol to the corresponding aryl and heteroaryl xanthates with newly synthesized imidazolium methylthiocarbonothioyl salts and conversion of these xanthates to the trifluoromethyl ethers under mild reaction conditions.

We report the development of photoredox-catalyzed and copper-promoted trifluoromethoxylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates, with trifluoromethyl arylsulfonate (TFMS) as the trifluoromethoxylation reagent. This new method takes advantage of visible-light photoredox catalysis to generate the aryl radical under mild conditions, combined with copper-promoted selective trifluoromethoxylation. The reaction is scalable, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and proceeds regioselectively under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, mechanistic studies suggested that a Cs[Cu(OCF3)2] intermediate might be generated during the reaction.

The nucleophilic fluorination of bromodifluoromethyl derivatives mediated by the complex (PPh3)3CuF is described. Under the reaction conditions, different trifluoroacetates, trifluoroketones, trifluoroarenes and trifluoroacetamides were obtained in good yields.

XeF2 is demonstrated to be a more proficient fluorine-transfer reagent than either NFSI or Selectfluor in fluorodecarboxylations of both mono- and difluoroaryloxy acetic acid derivatives. This method efficiently converts a wide range of neutral and electron-poor substrates to afford the desired di- and trifluoromethyl aryl ethers in good to excellent yields. The purifications are facile, and the reaction times are less than 5 min, which makes these fluorodecarboxylations promising for future PET-imaging applications.
A New Method for the Trifluoromethylation of Aromatics
Marhold, A.,Klauke, E.
, p. 281 - 292 (2007/10/02)
A new method is described for introducing a CF3-group, by a single-step synthesis, into aromatic compounds.This trifluoromethylation is done by means of a mixture consisting of HF/CCl4 and the aromatic compounds.The reaction is thought to be of a Friedel-Crafts type and limited to aromatics which are not substituted by electron withdrawing groups.
