A NOVEL AND CONVENIENT METHOD FOR TRIFLUOROMETHYLATION OF ORGANIC HALIDES USING CF3SIR'3/KF/CU(I) SYSTEM

Abstract Fluoride ion induced cross-coupling reaction of organic halides with trifluoromethyltrialkylsilanes takes place in the presence of Cu(I) salts under mild reaction conditions to give the corresponding trifluoromethylated products in high yields.
