Bistrifluoromethylated organocuprate [Ph4P]+[Cu(CF3)2]−: synthesis, characterization and its application for trifluoromethylation of activated heteroaryl bromides, chlorides and iodides†
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a bistrifluoromethylated organocuprate [Ph4P]+[Cu(CF3)2]− and its reactions with a variety of activated heteroaryl bromides, chlorides and iodides were described. These results showed that complex [Ph4P]+[Cu(CF3)2]− can serve as a trifluoromethylating reagent.
