The site-selective trifluoromethylation of aliphatic systems remains an important challenge. This work describes a light-driven, copper-mediated trifluoromethylation of -alkyl thiocarbonates. The reaction provides broad functional group tolerance (e.g., alkyne, alkene, phenol, free alcohol, electron-rich and -deficient arenes), thereby offering orthogonality and practicality for trifluoromethylation. A radical organometallic mechanism is proposed.
脂肪族体系的位点选择性三氟甲基化仍然是一个重要的挑战。本工作描述了一种光驱动、铜介导的-烷基硫代碳酸酯的三氟甲基化反应。该反应具有广泛的官能团容忍性(例如,炔烃、烯烃、苯酚、游离醇、富电子和缺电子芳基),因此为三氟甲基化提供了正交性和实用性。提出了一种自由基有机金属反应机制。
