title: Transition-metal-free oxidative trifluoromethylation of unsymmetrical biaryls with trifluoromethanesulfinate.
abstract: A transition-metal-free direct oxidative trifluoromethylation of unsymmetrical biaryls has been achieved by the simple combination of trifluoromethanesulfinate and phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate). The trifluoromethylation is selectively observed in the electron-rich arenes.
