Abstract
This study presents a mild and practical method for the catalyst-free decarboxylative trifluoromethylation/perfluoroalkylation of benzoic acid derivatives by using inexpensive NaSO2CF3 as a CF3-source and solid Na2S2O8 as an initiator. The environment-friendly transformation is performed at 30 °C in water–acetonitrile, and it can be easily scaled up to the gram level with a good yield.
