In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

Paragraph 0015-0023, (2020/01/14)
The invention discloses a novel synthesis method of chlorobenzotrifluoride, wherein o-chlorotoluene is used as a raw material, copper chloride or cuprous chloride is used as a catalyst, and o-chlorobenzotrifluoride is synthesized through two steps of chlorination and fluorination. Compared with the method in the prior art, the method of the invention has the following characteristics that raw materials are subjected to heating dehydration treatment in the dehydration kettle, so that the chlorination side reactions are few, the product purity is high, the graded chlorination device does not need to be additionally arranged, the technological process is simple, and the operation is convenient. According to the chlorination process of the invention, the catalyst is added in batches to increase the efficiency of the catalyst, so that the by-product generated by thechlorination reaction and the emission of waste gas in the production are greatly reduced, and the emission of pollutants in the production process is reduced.
Cathodic C-H Trifluoromethylation of Arenes and Heteroarenes Enabled by an in Situ-Generated Triflyltriethylammonium Complex

While several trifluoromethylation reactions involving the electrochemical generation of CF3 radicals via anodic oxidation have been reported, the alternative cathodic, reductive radical generation has remained elusive. Herein, the first cathodic trifluoromethylation of arenes and heteroarenes is reported. The method is based on the electrochemical reduction of an unstable triflyltriethylammonium complex generated in situ from inexpensive triflyl chloride and triethylamine, which produces CF3 radicals that are trapped by the arenes on the cathode surface.
