The copper-catalyzed C(sp2)-H trifluoromethylation of N,N-disubstituted hydrazones using the Togni reagent is demonstrated to proceed efficiently for aliphatic aldehyde-derived substrates. The success of the reactions relied on the choice of the N,N-diphenylamino group as the terminal hydrazone amino group where N,N-dialkylamino groups were preferred for (hetero)aromatic aldehyde-derived substrates. In addition, the trifluoromethylated N-arylhydrazones are shown to be ideal substrates for Fischer indole synthesis allowing a straightforward, three-step access to 2-trifluoromethylindole derivatives from simple aldehydes.
