Abstract
The copper-catalyzed radical bis(trifluoromethylation) of alkynes and 1,3-enynes is described. With Cu(CH3CN)4BF4 as the catalyst, the reaction of arylalkynes with Togni reagent II and (bpy)Zn(CF3)2at room temperature affords the corresponding 1,2-bis(trifluoromethylated) alkenes in good yields with excellent E-stereoselectivity. Under similar conditions, the reaction of 1,3-enynes provides the corresponding 1,4-bis(trifluoromethylated) allenes exclusively in satisfactory yields. The protocol exhibits broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility.

- 19 Typical Procedure for the 1,2-Bis(trifluoromethylation) of Alkynes To a 25 mL sealed tube were added Cu(CH3CN)4BF4 (19 mg, 20 mol%), Togni reagent II (161 mg, 0.51 mmol), and bpyZn(CF3)2 (162 mg, 0.45 mmol). The mixture was evacuated and backfilled with argon (3×). Alkyne 1a (54 μL, 0.3 mmol) and anhydrous CH3CN (6.0 mL) were then added successively. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The resulting mixture was diluted with DCM and filtered through a pad of Celite. After the removal of solvent under reduced pressure, the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with petroleum ether as the eluent to give the (E)-1,2- bis(trifluoromethylated) product 2a as a colorless oil; yield 72 mg (81%).
