Copper-Catalyzed Annulation–Cyanotrifluoromethylation of 1,6-Enynes Toward 1-Indanones via a Radical Process

A new Cu(II)-catalyzed annulation–cyanotrifluoromethylation of 1,6-enynes with Togni's reagent and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) has been established, enabling the direct construction of trifluoromethylated 1-indanones with an all-carbon quaternary center in good yields. This reaction was perf...
