Trifluoromethyl-containing compounds play a significant role in medicinal chemistry, materials and fine chemistry. Although direct C?H trifluoromethylation has been achieved on Csp2?H bonds, direct conversion of Csp3?H bonds to Csp3?CF3 remains challenging. We report herein an efficient protocol for the selective trifluoromethylation of benzylic C?H bonds. This process is mediated by a combination CuIII?CF3 species and persulfate salts. A wide range of methylarenes can be selectively trifluoromethylated at the benzylic positions. A combination of experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies suggests that the reaction involves a radical intermediate and a CuIII?CF3 species as the CF3 transfer reagent.

The installation of trifluoromethyl groups has become an essential step across a number of industries such as agrochemicals, drug discovery, and materials. Consequently, the rapid introduction of this critical functional group in a predictable fashion would benefit current practitioners in those fields. This communication describes a mild trifluoromethylation of benzylic C-H bonds with high selectivity for the least hindered hydrogen atom. The reaction provides monotrifluoromethylation and proceeds in an environmentally friendly acetone/water solvent system. The method can be used to install benzylic trifluoromethyl groups on highly functionalized drug molecules.

The transition-metal-free 2,2,2-trifluoroethylation and gem-difluorovinylation of arylboronic acids were developed. By employing different reaction conditions, these transformations provide both (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)arenes and gem-difluorovinylarenes fro

The synthesis of (trifluoromethyl)copper complexes is achieved easily by electroreduction of bromotrifluoromethane in N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of a sacrificial copper anode and various potential ligands.Three (trifluoromethyl)copper species are considered; two copper(II) and one copper(I).The mechanism of formation of the (trifluoromethyl)copper species is discussed and a study of their reactivities towards various organic halides is reported.

Various CH2X groups have been attached to the ortho position of phenylcarbene.If 2'- or 3'-C-H bonds are present, as in 23 (X = Me), 71 (X = CMe3), and 58 (X = SiMe3), C-H insertion leading to five- or six-membered rings predominates in the gas phase and competes with intermolecular reactions in solution.The formation of benzocyclobutenes via insertion into 1'-C-H bonds is a very minor reaction path of 23 and 71.In contrast, 58 produces substantial amounts of the benzocyclobutene 59 by way of C-Si insertion, particularly in the gas phase.Insertion into the Si-Me bonds of 58 also occurs while the C-F bonds of 37 (X = CF3) and 50 (X = F) are inert.In the gas phase, 37 and 50 give mainly benzocyclobutenes whereas intermolecular reactions prevail in solution.The effects of sensitization and of solvent polarity suggest that benzocyclobutenes arise from singlet arylcarbenes.The amount of carbene-carbene rearrangement decreases in the order 7 (X = H) > 37 (X = CF3) > 23 (X = Me); no rearrangement was observed with 50 (X = F), 58 (X = SiMe3), and 71 (X = CMe3).
