Copper(II)‐Catalysed Aerobic Oxidative Coupling of Arylamines with Hexafluoroisopropanol: An Alternative Methodology for Constructing Fluorinated Compounds

The selective functionalisation of arylamine derivatives with hexafluoroisopropanol through copper(II)‐catalysed aerobic oxidative coupling was developed to generate various fluoroalkylated arylamines under mild conditions. This method has a wide substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance and provides the fluorinated products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, preliminary studies indicate that this reaction occur via a...
