The first copper and zinc copromoted trifluoromethylation using trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf2O) as a trifluoromethylating reagent has been developed. The reaction of alkenes or alkynes with Tf2O in the presence of CuX2 (X = Br, Cl), Zn powder, and 2,2′-bipyridine affords bromo(chloro)trifluoromethylated products in good yields. CuX2 plays a dual role as the catalyst and halide source, whereas 2,2′-bipyridine acts as both the activation reagent and ligand.
