Abstract

A metal-catalyst-free and external-oxidant-free electrochemical oxidative radical C−H ortho-trifluoromethylation is presented. The reaction specifically occurred at the ortho-position of anilides without directing groups. Various anilides showed good tolerance to provide the desired products in moderate to good yields. In addition, the gram-scale amplified product of benzanilide was obtained with a yield of 64 %, which proved that it has a certain application potential.
