Pentafluoroethane, C2F5H (HFC-125), is smoothly cuprated with preisolated or in situ-generated [K(DMF)][(t-BuO)2Cu] to give [K(DMF)2][(t-BuO)Cu(C2F5)] (1) in nearly quantitative yield. Complex 1 has been isolated, structurally characterized, and demonstrated to be an exceedingly versatile pentafluoroethylating reagent for a variety of substrates, including unactivated aryl bromides.

Sodium trifluoroacetate, in the presence of copper(I) iodide, is used as a source of trifluoromethyl to replace halogen by trifluoromethyl in benzenoid and heterocyclic aromatic systems, as well as in alkenyl and alkyl halogen compounds.The mechanism of this interesting copper-assisted process has been explored and an intermediate of the form - is proposed.Introduction of higher perfluoroalkyl groups from their respective sodium perfluoroalkane carboxylates has been demonstrated and the machanistic features are compared with those of the trifluoromethylation process.
