General description

(1,10-Phenanthroline)(trifluoromethyl)copper(I) [(Phen)Cu-CF3] can be prepared by treating [CuOt-Bu]4 with 1,10-phenanthroline, followed by the addition of (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (CF3TMS). It is an easily handled, thermally stable, single-component reagent.

Application

Trifluoromethylator, A New Arene Trifluoromethylation Reagent: (Phen)Cu-CF3

(Phen)Cu-CF3 can be used as a reagent for the trifluoromethylation of aryl iodides. Electron-rich and electron-deficient iodoarenes, as well as sterically-hindered iodoarenes, react in high yield under mild conditions. Electrophilic functional groups, including aldehydes, nitroarenes, ketones, and esters are tolerated. The substrate scope of this reagent is broad and the reagent has wide applicability for trifluoromethylation reactions.
It can also be used in the oxidative trifluoromethylation of organoboron reagents, and terminal alkynes through C-H activation.
