Abstract

A novel and practical method to synthesize trifluoromethyl tertiary alcohols has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, the present reaction could be compatible with a wide range of functional groups. Moreover, the performance of gram-scale reaction and further transformations illustrated the good potential utility of the present chemistry. Furthermore, the radical process of this reaction has been proved by mechanistic studies.

Key words

alcohols - fluorine - green chemistry - radical reaction - regioselectivity
