Summary: Anodic methoxylation of N-alkyl-N-(2, 2, 2-trifluoroethy1) anilines and N-(2, 2, 2- trifluoroethyl) di-phenylamine places the methoxy group in the a-position (toward the trifluoromethyl group); these products are useful building blocks for the construction of a carboncarbon bond at this a-position.
