5,7-Di-tert-butyl-3-phenyl benzoxazolium tetrafluoroborate 1 could be prepared by simple reaction of the corresponding aminophenol with triethyl orthoformate under acidic conditions. Both rhodium(I) and copper(I) complexes with benzoxazol-2-ylidene ligand

Nickel complexes have gained sustained attention as efficient catalysts in cross-coupling reactions and co-catalysts in dual systems due to their ability to react with radical species. Central to this reactivity is nickel's propensity to shuttle through several accessible redox states from Ni0 to NiIV. Here, we report the catalytic generation of trifluoromethyl radicals from a nickel complex bearing redox-active iminosemiquinone ligands. This unprecedented reactivity is enabled through ligand-based oxidation performing electron transfer to an electrophilic CF3+ source while the nickel oxidation state is preserved. Additionally, extension of this reactivity to a copper complex bearing a single redox equivalent is reported, thus providing a unified reactivity scheme. These results open new pathways in radical chemistry with redox-active ligands.

The reaction of a copper complex bearing iminosemiquinone ligands with a CF3+ source provides an unprecedented Cu II-CF3 complex through ligand-based oxidation. Reactivity of this complex leads to nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of the ligand, suggesting an electronic interplay that results in a formal umpolung of the initial CF3+.
