Transition metal trifluoromethyl derivatives, synthesis

Trifluoromethyl Derivatives of the Transition Metal Flements 1984 Synthesis and Properties of Aryl... 

This indirect, two-step procedure for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl derivatives of transition metals was developed after it had become evident that the reaction of CF3I with metallate ions such as Mn(CO)5 resulted in the formation of the iodide rather than the expected trifluoromethyl derivative, as indicated in Eq. (3) (16). 

Clearly, the synthesis of a broad spectrum of trifluoromethyl transition metal compounds, including multiply substituted derivatives of...
