While several trifluoromethylation reactions involving the electrochemical generation of CF3 radicals via anodic oxidation have been reported, the alternative cathodic, reductive radical generation has remained elusive. Herein, the first cathodic trifluoromethylation of arenes and heteroarenes is reported. The method is based on the electrochemical reduction of an unstable triflyltriethylammonium complex
尽管已经报道了一些涉及通过阳极氧化电化学生成CF3自由基的三氟甲基化反应,但替代性的阴极,还原自由基的生成仍然难以捉摸。在此,报道了芳烃和杂芳烃的第一次阴极三氟甲基化。该方法基于电化学还原由廉价的三氟氯甲烷和三乙胺就地生成的不稳定的三氟三乙铵络合物,该络合物产生CF3自由基,这些自由基被芳烃捕获在阴极表面上。
