A copper-catalyzed diastereoselective [4 + 2] cyclolization of α,β-unsaturated ketoxime acetates and trifluoromethyl ketones affords various 3-trifluoromethylated 3-hydroxy-cylcohexan-1-ones smoothly. This reaction features the selective functionalization of a less acidic C(sp3)–H bond by an internal oxdative C(sp3)–H functionalization strategy. Preliminary investigations revealed that α,β-unsaturated
The first oxidative C(sp3)−H/C(sp3)−H cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction promoted by an internal oxidant is reported. This copper‐catalyzed CDC reaction of oxime acetates and trifluoromethylketones provides a simple and efficient approach towards 2‐trifluoromethyldihydropyrrol‐2‐ol derivatives in a highly diastereoselective manner by cascade C(sp3)−C(sp3) bond formation and cyclization
An intermolecularC(sp3)−Hamination reaction is reported that is promoted by internal oxidants and occurs via a C=N bond formation step. This intermolecularC(sp3)−Hamination reaction of trifluoromethyl ketones and aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates affords various valuable trifluoroacetylated hydrazones in high yields with excellent E/Z selectivities. The salient features of this reaction type is
