Copper-mediated trifluoromethylation of α-diazo esters with TMSCF3 reagent has been developed as a new method to prepare α-trifluoromethyl esters. This trifluoromethylation reaction represents the first example of fluoroalkylation of a non-fluorinated carbene precursor. Water plays an important role in promoting the reaction by activating the “CuCF3” species prepared from CuI/TMSCF3/CsF (1.0:1.1:1.1). The scope of this trifluoromethylation reaction is broad, and its efficiency is demonstrated in the synthesis of a variety of aryl-, benzyl-, and alkyl-substituted 3,3,3-trifluoropropanoates. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Ethyl (2-bromophenyl)acetate (cas: 2178-24-7Recommanded Product: Ethyl (2-bromophenyl)acetate).
Ethyl (2-bromophenyl)acetate (cas: 2178-24-7) belongs to organobromine compounds. Organo bromine compounds are versatile compounds and are widely used in diverse fields. Organo bromine derivatives are used in the dye sector, as an indicator in analytical chemistry (Bromothymol blue is a popular indicator). In the pharmaceutical industry organo bromine derivatives are used as sedatives, vasodilators, antiseptic agents, and anticancer agents.Recommanded Product: Ethyl (2-bromophenyl)acetate
