Electrochemical O-trifluoromethylation of electron-deficient phenols

A simple and sustainable one-step strategy for the preparation of electron-deficient aryl trifluoromethyl ethers (ArOCF3) from the corresponding phenols by electrochemical synthesis is presented. Anodic oxidation of trifluoromethane sulfinate (Langlois reagent) leads to direct O-trifluoromethylation...
