The increasing pharmaceutical importance of trifluoromethylarenes has stimulated the development of more efficient trifluoromethylation reactions. Tremendous efforts have focused on copper- and palladium-mediated/catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aryl halides. In contrast, no general method exists for the conversion of widely available inert electrophiles, such as phenol derivatives, into the corresponding trifluoromethylated arenes. Reported herein is a practical nickel-mediated trifluoromethylation of phenol derivatives with readily available trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (TMSCF3). The strategy relies on PMe3-promoted oxidative addition and transmetalation, and CCl3CN-induced reductive elimination. The broad utility of this transformation has been demonstrated through the direct incorporation of trifluoromethyl into aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, including biorelevant compounds.

A mild, efficient, and practical transformation for the direct C-H trifluoromethylation of glycals under visible light has been reported for the first time. This reaction employed fac-Ir3+(ppy)3 as the photocatalyst, Umemoto's reagent as the CF3 source, and a household blue LED or sunlight as the light source. Glycals bearing both electron-withdrawing and -donating protective groups performed this reaction smoothly. This visible light-mediated trifluoromethylation reaction was highlighted by the trifluoromethylation of the biologically important Neu2en moiety.
