Copper-mediated pentafluoroethylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) on-site generated from TMSCF3 has been developed as a new method to prepare pentafluoroethyl arenes. The active pentafluoroethylation reagent “CuC2F5” is pre-generated from CuSCN, TFE and CsF, and its generation and further reaction are strongly solvent-dependent. This pentafluoroethylation reaction represents the first example of Sandmeyer-type pentafluoroethylation, which exhibits good functional group tolerance and potential applications for the synthesis of complicated bioactive compounds.
