strategy for aromatic trifluoromethylation by converting amino into trifluoromethyl groups via a Sandmeyer-type reaction is reported. The transformation involves diazotization of the aromatic amines with tert-butyl nitrite and hydrochloric acid to form aryldiazonium chlorides, followed by trifluoromethylation with trifluoromethylsilver at low temperature. Various readily available aromatic amines are

A copper-promoted trifluoromethylation reaction of aromatic amines is described. This transformation proceeds smoothly under mild conditions and exhibits good tolerance of many synthetically relevant functional groups. It provides an alternative approach for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated arenes and heteroarenes. It also constitutes a new example of the Sandmeyer reaction.
A novel strategy for aromatic trifluoromethylation by converting aromatic amino group into CF3 group is reported herein. This method, which can be considered as trifluoromethylation variation of the classic Sandmeyer reaction, uses readily available aromatic amines as starting materials and is performed under mild conditions.
