Copper-promoted/copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylselenolation reactions

Abstract

Copper catalysis and, more generally, copper chemistry are pivotal for modern organofluorine chemistry. Major advances have been made in the field of trifluoromethylselenolations of organic compounds where copper catalysis played a crucial role. Recent developments in this field are highlighted in this minireview.
