The combo pack: Copper‐catalyzed trifluoromethylation of alkenes bearing an allylic proton combined with CCbondformation affords the title compounds in good to high yields (see scheme). The reactions are faster than allylic trifluoromethylation, especially in 1,4‐dioxane. A unique 1,6‐oxytrifluoromethylation occurred instead of an anticipated seven‐membered ring forming carbotrifluoromethylation

An efficient perfluoroalkylation of unactivated alkenes with perfluoro acid anhydrides was developed. Copper salts play a crucial role as a catalyst to achieve allylic perfluoroalkylation with the in situ generated bis(perfluoroacyl) peroxides. Furthermore, carboperfluoroalkylation of alkene bearing an aromatic ring at an appropriate position on the carbon side chain was found to proceed under metal‐free
