Bromo- and iodoalkenes undergo trifluoromethylation efficiently in DMA with "CF3Cu" generated from (CF3)2Hg and Cu. Variable stereochemical inversion is observed with substrates having a gem-carbonyl group. Substrates having gem-hydrogen, -alkyl, or -alkenyl groups give products with stereochemical retention.
