Abstract

A mild and practical protocol for manganese-catalyzed aerobic oxytrifluoromethylation of olefinic bonds of styrene derivatives using CF3SO2Na (Langlois’ reagent) as the CF3 source is described. A distinguishing feature of this method is the generation of trifluoromethyl radicals from CF3SO2Na using the simple manganese salt/O2 system. The reaction proceeds under ambient conditions, free of added peroxide initiators, and provides moderate to good selectivities for alcohol versus ketone product.
