A New Method for the Trifluoromethylation of Aromatics

A new method is described for introducing a CF3-group, by a single-step synthesis, into aromatic compounds.This trifluoromethylation is done by means of a mixture consisting of HF/CCl4 and the aromatic compounds.The reaction is thought to be of a Friedel-Crafts type and limited to aromatics which are not substituted by electron withdrawing groups.
