A novel copper-catalyzed radical cyanotrifluoromethylation has been achieved through a multicomponent reaction of isocyanides, Togni’s reagent, and trimethylsilyl cyanides, affording trifluoroacetimidoyl nitriles in good yields. This reaction demonstrates a unique feature of merging two valuable functional groups—trifluoromethyl (CF3) and cyan (CN)—onto the same C atom. The transformation proceeds
