title: Aromatic trifluoromethylation catalytic in copper.
abstract: Cu(I)-diamine complexes were found to catalyse the trifluoromethylation of aryl iodides. In the presence of a small amount of CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), the cross-coupling reactions of iodoarenes with trifluoromethylsilanes proceeded smoothly to afford trifluoromethylated aromatics in good yields.
