Scope of the Copper-Catalyzed Trifluoromethylation Reaction of Alkyl Bromides via Metallophotoredoxa,b
Performed with CuCl2 (20 mol %), 8 (2 equiv), 4 (2 equiv), Na2CO3 (4 equiv), and with either 1 (1 mol %) or 17 (5 mol %) in MeCN or DMSO, respectively (see Supporting Information for full experimental details).
Due to the volatility of a number of products, yields are reported on the basis of 19F NMR analysis using PhCF3 as an internal standard. Isolated yields are in parentheses.
Performed with 17 in DMSO for 1 h.
Performed with 1 in MeCN for 4 h.
Performed with 17 in DMSO for 30 min.
