Copper‐Catalyzed Trifluoromethylation‐Initiated Radical 1,2‐Aryl Migration in α,α‐Diaryl Allylic Alcohols

Not only symmetrical, but also unsymmetrical α,α-diaryl allylic alcohols are employed as substrates in the title reaction. A number of arenes and even heteroarenes underwent radical 1,2-aryl migration (“neophyl rearrangement”) to produce α-aryl β-trifluoromethyl ketones. The preferential migration o... View More
