title: Metal-free aryltrifluoromethylation of activated alkenes.
abstract: Metal-free: The first metal-free aryltrifluoromethylation of activated alkenes has been developed. With this method, trifluoromethylated isoquinolinediones, spirobicycles, oxindoles, and α-aryl-β-trifluoromethylamides were obtained with high control of the regioselectivity.
