Abstract
The synthesis of (trifluoromethyl)copper complexes is achieved easily by electroreduction of bromotrifluoromethane in N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of a sacrificial copper anode and various potential l igands. Three (trifluoromethyl)copper species are considered: two copp er(II) and one copper(I). The mechanism of formation of the (trifluoro methyl)copper species is discussed and a study of their reactivities t owards various organic halides is reported.
