Recent progress in the trifluoromethylation of alkenes with Togni's reagents

Abstract

Recent progress in the trifluoromethylation of alkenes with Togni's reagents is reviewed. Seven approaches to the trifluoromethylation of alkenes are summarized: (i) oxytrifluoromethylation, (ii) aminotrifluoromethylation, (iii) allylic trifluoromethylation, (iv) cyanotrifluoromethylation, (v) trifluoromethylazidation, (vi) carbotrifluoromethylation, and (vii) trifluoromethylation-rearrangement.
