Abstract:
Effective CF(3) transfer: Various electron-rich nitrogen heterocycles (pyrazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles) can be directly N-trifluoromethylated by a hypervalent iodine reagent in an efficient manner. The optimized procedure, which includes an in situ silylation of the substrate followed by an acid-catalyzed CF(3) transfer, provides ready access to a series of new and previously challenging or inaccessible NCF(3) compounds.
