Abstract

Abstract: The difunctionalizative trifluoromethylation of unsaturated C−C bonds is a highly useful and efficient method for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl compounds with attractive architectures from simple feedstocks, allowing the introduction of the CF3 group along with a wide variety of substituents either inter‐ or intramolecularly. Given that trifluoromethyl molecules are increasingly used as promising bioactive species in the design of new drugs and agrochemicals, difunctionalizative trifluoromethylation has been extensively studied during the last decade. This review focuses on reactions proceeding via the simultaneous formation of C−heteroatom (O, N, S, Se, B) and C−H bonds, as these reactions provide useful CF3 group‐containing building blocks. To identify the trends and prospects of the evolution of this methodology, we systematically describe the variants of these types of reactions and provide a more general view of reaction conditions, modes, and mechanisms. The presented comprehensive survey enables the categorization of reactions into those that are synthetically mature and those with room for further development. Abstract :
