J Org Chem. 2007 Oct 26;72(22):8604-7. doi: 10.1021/jo701734d. Epub 2007 Oct 2.

Abstract

A method for the nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of salicyl aldimines, which do not contain an activating group at the nitrogen atom, has been described. The reaction proceeds through the initial generation of intramolecular boron complex followed by interaction with Me3SiCF3 activated by sodium acetate.
