Abstract

Catalytic trifluoromethylation of aryl- and vinylboronic acids by 2-cyclopropyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophenium proceeded in good yields for various substrates in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuOAc and 2,4,6-collidine in ethyl acetate under mild reaction conditions at room temperature.
