Silver-Mediated Trifluoromethoxylation of Aryl Stannanes and Arylboronic Acids

Abstract

A silver-mediated cross-coupling of trifluoromethoxide with aryl stannanes and arylboronic acids to give aryl trifluoromethyl ethers is reported. This is the first report of a transition-metal-mediated C(aryl)-OCF(3) bond formation.
