Silver-Catalyzed Trifluoromethoxylation of Alkyl Trifluoroborates
Xiaohuan Jiang, Pingping Tang
Abstract
A silver-catalyzed trifluoromethoxylation of alkyl trifluoroborates with trifluoromethyl arylsulfonate as the trifluoromethoxylation reagent has been reported for the first time. This reaction is performed under mild reaction conditions and has wide functional group compatibility. In addition, the mechanism of this site-specific trifluoromethoxylation is proposed as a radical pathway.
