Efficient copper-catalyzedtrifluoromethylation of aromatic iodides was achieved with TMSCF3 in the presence of trimethylborate. The Lewis acid was used to anchor the in situ generated trifluoromethyl anion and suppress its rapid decomposition. Broad applicability of the new trifluoromethylating reaction was demonstrated in the functionalization of different aromatic and heteroaromatic iodides.

Going to the source: The trifluoromethylation of aryl/heteroaryl iodides has been demonstrated using a flowsystem, thus enabling a rapid rate of reaction. A broad spectrum of trifluoromethylated compounds was prepared in good to excellent yields using CF3CO2K as the trifluoromethyl source. The process has the advantage of short reaction times and uses convenient [CF3] sources.

Copper-catalyzed chemoselective synthesis of 4-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles
of 4-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles have been prepared via the copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene with a variety of N-arylsydnone derivatives under mild conditions. This new protocol under optimized reaction conditions [Cu(OTf)2/phen, DBU, CH3CN, 35 °C] afforded 4-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles in moderate to excellent yields with excellent regioselectivity.
