Abstract: This review provides an overview of metal-, nonmetal-, light-, or catalyst freepromoting
reactions of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-trifluoro diazoethanes with organic molecules
for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted compounds. Several approaches will be
reviewed and divided into (i) copper-, iron-, Trop(BF4)-, B(C6F5)3-, light-, or rhodiumpromoted
reactions of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-trifluoro diazoethanes with silanes, amines,
mercaptans, phosphonates, p-cyanophenol, benzoic acid, diphenylphosphinic acid, boranes and
nBu3SnH, (ii) rhodium-catalyzed reactions of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-trifluoro diazoethanes
with amides and phenylhydroxylamine, (iii) copper-, rhodium-, silver-, and lightcatalyzed
reactions of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-trifluoro diazoethanes with alkynes, (iv) palladium-,
copper-, rhodium- and iron-catalyzed reactions of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-trifluoro
diazoethanes with alkenes, (v) BF3·OEt2-, copper-, tin- or TBAB-catalyzed reactions of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-
trifluoro diazoethanes with HF·Py, (difluoroiodo)toluene (p-TolIF2), TMSCF3, AgSCF3, TMSCF2Br or 1,3-
dicarbonyl compounds, (vi) palladium-, copper-, gold/silver- or rhodium-catalyzed reactions of aromatic substituted
2,2,2-trifluoro diazoethanes with indoles, benzene compounds or pyridines, and (vii) palladium-catalyzed reaction
of aromatic substituted 2,2,2-trifluoro diazoethanes with benzyl or allyl bromides.
