Abstract

A range of benzotrifluorides are conveniently accessible in high yields from diazonium salts and the inexpensive trifluoromethylating agent TMSCF₃ through a copper-mediated Sandmeyer trifluoromethylation reaction. The combination of diazotization and trifluoromethylation in a one-pot procedure enables the trifluoromethylation of widely available (hetero)aromatic amines.
