title: Benzoyl peroxide (BPO)-promoted oxidative trifluoromethylation of tertiary amines with trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane.
abstract: The benzoyl peroxide (BPO)-promoted oxidative functionalization of tertiary amines under transition-metal-free reaction conditions was developed. Various 1-trifluoromethylated tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were prepared by employing this method. It constitutes the first example of direct trifluoromethylation of tertiary amines.
