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
