Copper-Catalyzed C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) Bond Formation Using a Hypervalent Iodine Reagent: An Efficient Allylic Trifluoromethylation
An efficient copper-catalyzed allylic trifluoromethylation reaction has been developed. This reaction provides a general and straightforward way to synthesize allylic trifluoromethylated compounds under mild conditions.
