A simple, high yielding, two-step, one-pot protocol for the preparation of trifluoromethyl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes from α-CF3 homoallyl alcohols is disclosed. Destabilization of the cationic intermediate by the electron-withdrawing CF3 group greatly enhances neighboring group participation of the alkene, allowing ring closure to predominate. The reaction can be extended to the difluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl group, enabling the preparation of a diverse array of fluoroalkyl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes. A diverse array of fluoroalkyl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes are prepared in a simple, high-yielding, two-step, one-pot protocol by means of cationic ring-closure.

A copper-mediated trifluoroacetylation of various arenediazonium salts with ethyl trifluoropyruvate is reported. The reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions at room temperature giving trifluoromethyl aryl ketones in moderate to good yields. A variety of functional groups, including methoxy, hydroxy, ester, ketone, trifluoromethyl, and halide groups, were well tolerated. A possible reaction mechanism involving an aryl radical intermediate was proposed and supported by experimental evidence. This reaction provides a new route to trifluoromethyl aryl ketones, notable synthetic targets, from the corresponding anilines.
