Trifluoromethylation-triggered cyclization of alkenes provides a useful route to CF3-containing cyclic compounds. Current approaches to generate CF3-based initiators from a CF3 source require a catalyst or an activator. This work describes a catalyst-free protocol to innately produce electrophilic CF3 species from PhICF3Cl for trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides. A new domino biscyclization of dienes has been developed leading to trifluoroethylated tetrahydroindenoquinolinones with chemo- and stereo-selectivity.

A novel metal- and azide-free methodology for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated 1,2,3-triazoles from arylamines with a new 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one derived tosylhydrazone has been developed under mild reaction conditions. The new α-bromo-trifluoromethylated tosylhydrazone reagent was operationally safe and bench-stable from low-cost and readily commercially available starting materials in the iodine-promoted aerobic oxidative cycloaddition reaction with arylamines, affording a variety of trifluoromethylated 1,2,3-triazoles in good to excellent yields.

Polyaromatics, as the assembly of diverse cyclic π-systems, exhibit unique physicochemical properties when compared to their individual constituents. In this study, we developed a strategic connection of two azacycles via a furan bridge through a defluorinative diazolation-cyclization reaction of trifluoromethyl enones and N-heterocycles. A range of modular 2,4-furan-bridged triheterocycles (FBTHs), featuring a C3-trifluoromethyl group, was synthesized with broad substrate scope and good regioselectivity under transition metal-free conditions.

An efficient protocol was reported for the synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl indoles through visible-light-promoted intermolecular cyclization of sulfoxonium ylides with azides, without the need for external photocatalysts, transition metals, or bases. The formation of 2-trifluoromethyl indoles involves an intriguing cascade process including azide rearrangement, intermolecular nucleophilic addition, and visible-light-promoted cyclization of a key intermediate. The protocol features high efficiency, mild conditions, excellent substrate compatibility and good regioselectivity.

A visible-light-induced cascade radical trifluoromethylation/cyclization/dearomatization reaction between isocyanide-containing indoles and CFBr has been developed to afford trifluoromethylated spiro[indole-3,3-quinoline] and spiro [indole-3,3-pyrrole] derivatives in good yields. The utility of the process is demonstrated by a scale-up experiment. The mechanism was proposed based on the control experiments.
