Silver and copper ethylene adducts and the silver carbonyl complex of the tris(pyrazolyl)borate [HB(3,4,5-(CF(3))(3)Pz)(3)](-) (which is based on one of the most acidic pyrazoles known) have been synthesized. (13)C NMR resonance signals of metal-bound ethylene carbon atoms of [HB(3,4,5-(CF(3))(3)Pz)(3)]Ag(C(2)H(4)) and

Ethyl 2-diazo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate is a highly versatile intermediate for the synthesis of a wide range of trifluoromethyl heterocycles. With the use of rhodium(II) or copper(II) catalyzed carbene X-H insertion reactions as key steps, a diverse set of trifluoromethyl-oxazoles, -thiazoles, -imidazoles, -1,2,4-triazines

Chiral nonracemic guanidines act as Brønsted bases to generate guanidinium enolates for the enantioselective electrophilic trifluoromethylation of beta-keto esters by means of S-(trifluoromethyl)dibenzothiophenium tetrafluoroborate (Umemoto reagent) with good enantioselectivity of 60-70% range. Despite the fact that the ees are still

Trifluoromethyl nitrones were obtained in high yields by condensation of various hydroxylamines with trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate. The nucleophilic diastereoselective additions of organometallic reagents to these nitrones afforded the corresponding optically active trifluoroethyl hydroxylamines in good yields.
