Cu(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Trifluoromethylation of Indoles with KF as the Base

This paper offers an efficient copper-catalyzed oxidative trifluoromethylation of indoles with low-cost CF3SO2Na via C–H activation. Notably, the use of a base is crucial for the trifluoromethylation of indoles. This reaction proceeds efficiently in good to excellent yields and is toleranc...
