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.

A new approach toward the asymmetric synthesis of optically active trifluoromethylated amines was enabled by an unprecedented, highly enantioselective catalytic isomerization of trifluoromethyl imines with a new chiral organic catalyst. Not only aryl but also alkyl trifluoromethylated amines could be

Fluoroform, CHF3, a non-ozone-depleting, nontoxic, and inexpensive gas can be used as a difluorocarbene source in a process for the conversion of phenols and thiophenols to their difluoromethoxy and difluorothiomethoxy derivatives. The reactions are carried out at moderate temperatures and
