Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE)

In 2001, Professor William Dolbier, Jr., at the University of Florida reported1 an approach to nucleophilic trifluoromethylation based on the generation of a trifluoromethyl anion using CF3I in the presence of a powerful twoelectron reductant, tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE)
