1,1,1-Trifluoro-2-arylethanes can be prepared by the trifluoromethyldehydroxylation of benzyl alcohols using the copper-dibromodifluoromethane-amide reaction system, although the yields are low.The mechanism of the reaction may involve chelation of the substrate to copper so that α-substituted benzyl alcohols and other alcohols are unreactive.
