Introduction of trifluoromethyl groups has become an increasingly important task in modern organic synthesis. Formation of C-CF3 bonds poses a challenge to synthetic organic chemists and there has been a surge in methodology development interest.Inspired by recent high oxidation state transition metal catalysis research performed in our group we have developed a series of oxidative metal-catalyzed trifluoromethylation reactions of alkenes. These reactions occur under mild conditions with good regio- and stereoselectivity.
