Synthesis of propargylic and allylic trifluoromethyl selenoethers by copper-mediated trifluoromethylselenolation of propargylic chlorides and allylic bromides
The copper-mediated trifluoromethylselenolation of propargylic chlorides and allylic bromides is described. This approach provides a wide range of propargylic and allylic trifluoromethyl selenoethers in moderate to good yields. These results open the way to synthesis strategies for various trifluoromethylselenolated compounds.
