Abstract

A radical trifluoromethylarylation of N-arylacrylamides with in situ generated [AgCF3] species from Me3SiCF3 and AgF in DMF is established through a tandem radical addition and C–H activation pathway. It provided a concise method to prepare 21 examples of CF3-containing oxindoles within four hours.
