Metal‐Free Aryltrifluoromethylation of Activated Alkenes

Abstract

Metal-free: The first metal-free aryltrifluoromethylation of activated alkenes has been developed. With this method, trifluoromethylated isoquinolinediones, spirobicycles, oxindoles, and α-aryl-β-trifluoromethylamides were obtained with high control of the regioselectivity.
