Abstract

Trifluoromethyl compounds have attracted much attention in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries due to the unique properties of the trifluoromethyl group.[1, 2] Various synthetic methods for such compounds have so far been developed by the use of trifluoromethyl organometallic (MCF3) reagents.[3] However, hard lithium and magnesium cations cannot be employed for such reagents, because these MCF3 reagents are ...
