title: Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated Naphthoquinones via Copper-Catalyzed Cascade Trifluoromethylation/Cyclization of 2-(3-Arylpropioloyl)benzaldehydes.
abstract: A novel copper-catalyzed cascade trifluoromethylation/cyclization of 2-(3-arylpropioloyl)benzaldehydes is described, allowing a direct access to structurally diverse trifluoromethylated naphthoquinones under mild reaction conditions. It represents the first trans-acyltrifluoromethylation of internal alkynes.
