The direct synthesis of pentafluoroethyl copper (CuC2F 5) from a cuprate reagent and ethyl pentafluoropropionate as one of the most economical and useful pentafluoroethyl sources was accomplished. The advantages of this method are; all the reagents employed are low-cost and operationally simple, and the CuC2F5 reagent is prepared in virtually quantitative yield. Furthermore, the CuC2F5 reagent prepared was successfully applied to two types of pentafluoroethylations with arylboronic acids and aryl bromides to provide the pentafluoroethylated aromatic products in good-to-excellent yields, including large scale operations.

An air-stable liquid trifluoromethylating reagent is readily synthesized from gaseous hexafluoroacetone and 2-methylproline on a gram scale. The reaction of the trifluoromethylating reagent with tert-butoxy cuprate K[Cu(OtBu)2] leads to the CuCF3in high yield. This species is directly formed from the tetrahedral cuprate intermediate through intramolecular migration of the trifluoromethyl group to copper. The CuCF3reagent prepared in situ by our method can be used for the trifluoromethylation of aryl iodides, arylboronic acids, and terminal alkynes in good to excellent yields, even on a gram scale. Furthermore, the CuC2F5reagent can be prepared in the same way, and this can be used in the pentafluoroethylation of arylboronic acids or aryl bromides in good to excellent yields.
