A straightforward method that enables the formation of biologically attractive trifluoromethyl ketones from readily available methyl esters using the potent greenhouse gas fluoroform (HCF3, HFC-23) was developed. The combination of fluoroform and KHMDS in triglyme at ?40 °C was effective for this transformation, with good yields as high as 92%. Substrate scope of the trifluoromethylation procedure was explored for aromatic, aliphatic, and conjugated methyl esters. This study presents a straightforward trifluoromethylation process of various methyl esters that convert well to the corresponding trifluoromethyl ketones. The tolerance of various pharmacophores under the reaction conditions was also explored.

The trifluoromethanide anion is the postulated key intermediate in nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reactions. It is believed to be incompatible with Na+ cation due to the strong Na–F bond. However, herein we demonstrate that it could be prepared for the first time. Trialkylamines can be used as cation chelating agents to stabilize the isolated –CF3 ion to realize trifluoromethylation reaction. With this strategy, trifluoromethyl aromatic ketones could be effectively synthesized from fluoroform and aromatic esters with diisopropyl aminosodium (NaDA) and trialkylamines.

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.
