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 performed by using low-cost Cu(OTf)<sub>2</sub> as the catalyst and Togni's reagent as both the radical initiator and a CF<sub>3</sub> source, providing an efficient protocol for building up an 1-indanone fram ...[more]
