Abstract

A free-radical halotrifluoromethylation of olefins by using Mn(OAc)3·2H2O, CF3SO2Na, and perhalogenated carboxylic acids has been achieved. Perhalogenated carboxylic acids act as a halogen source and CF3SO2Na acts as a CF3 source. The reaction displayed good tolerance of functional groups in the substrates under mild conditions. The radical clock experiment and TEMPO inhibition experiment support a radical process. The halogen reagent competition experiment shows that the last step of halogenation process is mainly through a halogen abstraction mechanism.
