Copper-catalyzed nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of propargylic halides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Sep 14;49(71):7809-11. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44434a.

Abstract

Reactions of propargylic halides with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC) have been found to give the corresponding trifluoromethylated products in good to high yields with a high selectivity.
