Substitution of benzylic H by the title compound (BTF) gives rise to products with -CH(CF3)2 terminus exclusively; an intermediate benzylic ion pair results from hydride transfer. Instead of ion recombination, proton transfer may be the concluding step generating dehydrogenation products and 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)ethane-1,1-dicarbonitrile.
