Recent Developments in the Trifluoromethylation of Alkynes

In the last few years, the development of versatile methodologies to incorporate trifluoromethyl groups into organic molecules has attracted significant attention in synthetic chemistry. This review gives an overview over the development on the trifluoromethylation of alkynes, which have not been solely discussed before. Formation of diverse C(sp, sp(2), sp(3))CF3 bonds are all covered in this review.
