In the presence of molecular sieves in DMSO, trifluoromethylation of various
aldehydes and ketones with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane proceeded very
smoothly to give the corresponding trifluoromethylated adduct in good to
quantitative yields without a base catalyst.

A nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reaction of carbonyl
compounds with Ruppert’s reagent, Me3SiCF3, was efficiently
promoted by a P(t-Bu)3-DMF system. Imines were also converted to the desired
α-trifluoromethyl amines under similar reaction conditions.
