Abstract: | The direct C−H trifluoromethylation of arenes catalyzed by graphene oxide (GO) under safe conditions is described. This strategy is metal‐free, initiator‐free, safe, and scalable. It employs a readily available CF3 source and the reaction can be easily controlled to obtain a mono‐trifluorinated product. This method opens a new avenue for GO‐catalyzed chemistry. |
