Abstract

When associated with an alkaline halide, such as cesium fluoride or cesium chloride, and Cu (I) species, methyl trifluoroacetate (MTFA) constitutes a valuable trifluoromethylating agent for substituting aromatic (or heteroaromatic) iodides and bromides. The reaction can be carried out in DMF at 180° C or, better, in sulfolane which allows he reaction to proceed at a lower temperature (from 140° C).
