Abstract
Copper capabilities: Diazonium salts are converted into the corresponding trifluoromethyl derivatives in the presence of a trifluoromethyl-copper complex generated in situ from CuSCN and the inexpensive, easy-to-use trifluoromethylating reagent Me3Si-CF3 (see scheme). This Sandmeyer-type reaction allows the straightforward synthesis of trifluoromethylated arenes and heteroarenes from the corresponding amines.
