An eco-friendly and effective electrochemical process was developed for the ortho-trifluoromethylation of arylamines using CF3SO2Na as the trifluoromethyl source, affording the desired products in moderate to good yields with high regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, the requirement for both transition metals and oxidants utilized in previous methods were avoided. A radical mechanism was proposed on the basis of various control experiments.

Electrochemical oxidation represents an environmentally friendly solution to conventional methods that require caustic stoichiometric chemical oxidants. However, C-H functionalizations merging transition-metal catalysis and electrochemical techniques are, to date, largely confined to the use of precious metals and divided cells. Herein, we report the first examples of copper-catalyzed electrochemical C-H aminations of arenes at room temperature using undivided electrochemical cells, thereby providing a practical solution for the construction of arylamines. The use of n-Bu4NI as a redox mediator is crucial for this transformation. On the basis of mechanistic studies including kinetic profiles, isotope effects, cyclic voltammetric analyses, and radical inhibition experiments, the reaction appears to proceed via a single-electron-transfer (SET) process, and a high valent Cu(III) species is likely involved. These findings provide a new avenue for transition-metal-catalyzed electrochemical C-H functionalization reactions using redox mediators.
