A general method for the trifluoromethylation of imines by using Me3SiCF3 under acidic conditions is described. The reaction is promoted by hydrofluoric acid generated in situ from KHF2 and either TFA or TfOH. A new chemoselectivity pattern was achieved, as the C=N bond was found to be more reactivate than the carbonyl group. The trifluoromethylation reaction is believed to proceed by concerted transfer

A simple combination of dichloro(para‐cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer, a chiral amino alcohol and isopropyl alcohol allowed for in‐situ generation of the bifunctional catalyst responsible for the transfer hydrogenation reaction of trifluoromethyl ketimines in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 93% ee). Herein, we describe the optimization, scope, limitations, and applications of the
Borane-amines undergo exclusive monoacetoxylation to trifluoroacetoxyborane-amines (TFAB-amines), which serve as chemoselective reagents for direct reductiveamination of aldehydes and ketones. TFAB-NEt3 has been established as mild and highly selective compared to widely-used NaBH3CN and Na(AcO)3BH, even at higher temperatures with challenging substrates. A mechanism involving polyaminoborane formed
The synthesis of trifluoroethylamines as amide bond mimics is an interesting topic in current research. They are well known tools in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry. Other methods described in literature are often restricted to few substrates. We herein report a new synthetic approach towards this class of substances. First, the trimethylaluminium-promoted generation of a trifluoromethyl-ketimine
