A novel strategy was developed to trigger center dot CF3 by using in situ generated peroxide in NMP under O-2 or air as the radical initiator. Radical trifluoromethylation of alkenes was achieved toward tertiary beta(-)trifluoromethyl alcohols. Various tertiary beta-trifluoromethyl alcohols can be synthesized in good yields without extra oxidants or transition metal catalysts. Preliminary mechanistic investigation revealed that O-2 diffusion can influence the reaction rate.
