title: Nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of imines using the CF3I/TDAE reagent.
abstract: The nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reagent derived from CF3I and tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) was found to be effective in addition to both N-tosyl aldimines and N-tolyl sulfinimines, the latter reaction exhibiting very good diastereoselectivity.
