When associated with an alkaline halide, such as cesium fluoride or cesium chloride, and Cu(I) species, methyl trifluoroacetate (MTFA) constitutes a valuable trifluoromethylatingagent for substituting aromatic (or heteroaromatic) iodides and bromides. The reaction can be carried out in DMF at 180 degrees C or, better, in sulfolane which allows he reaction to proceed at a lower temperature (from 140 degrees C). (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
