Abstract
Efficient copper - catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aromatic iodides was achieved with TMSCF 3 in the presence of trimethoxyborane. The Lewis acid was used to anchor the in situ generated trifluoromethyl anion and suppress its rapid decomp os i- tion. Broad applicability of the new trifluoromethylating reaction was demonstrated in the functionali zation of different aromatic and heteroaro matic iodides.
