Abstract
Presented herein are two distinct regiodivergent [3+2] cyclization reactions between N-CF3 imidoyl chlorides and N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane (NIITP) that include flexible modulation of the electronic properties of NIITP. The regioselectivity of reactions was different in the absence and presence of the Mo catalyst. The approach provides alternative efficient and scalable routes for N-CF3 triazole synthesis, demonstrating a broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and practical advantages.

Abstract
Here we report the challenging O-trifluoromethylation of carboxylic acids via the formation and activation of acyloxy(phenyl)trifluoromethyl-λ3-iodanes. The method provides an easy access to various potentially valuable and hitherto elusive trifluoromethyl carboxylic esters. A remarkably wide range of substrates with commonly encountered functional groups are compatible with this reaction, including aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids, as well as Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs and pharmaceutically relevant molecules. The reaction mechanism and the origins of the enhanced reactivity by zinc chloride (ZnCl2) were discussed from experimental evidence and density functional theory (DFT) calculation.

Abstract
A wide range of N-CF3 imidoyl chlorides were synthesized for the first time via the N-trifluoromethylation of nitriles in DCM by using AlCl3-activated PhICF3Cl as the CF3 source. The reactions of them with N-/O-/S-nucleophiles, as well as with 1,3-dipoles, were carried out to efficiently deliver N-CF3 amidines/imidates/thioimidates and N-CF3 azoles, demonstrating that they are a class of scalable NCF3-containing synthons in the synthesis of N-CF3 compounds.

Abstract
N-Trifluoromethylated organics may be applied in drug design, agrochemical synthesis, and materials science, among other areas. Yet, despite recent advances in the synthesis of aliphatic, cyclic and heterocyclic N-trifluoromethyl compounds, no strategy based on trifluoromethyl nitrene has hitherto been explored. Here we describe the formation of triplet trifluoromethyl nitrene from azidotrifluoromethane, a stable and safe-to-use precursor, by visible light photocatalysis. The addition of CF3 N to alkenes via biradical intermediates afforded previously unknown aziridines substituted with trifluoromethyl group on the nitrogen atom. The obtained aziridines were converted into either N-trifluoromethylimidazolines, via formal [3+2] cycloaddition with nitriles, mediated by a Lewis acid, or into N-trifluoromethylaldimines, via ring opening and aryl group migration mediated by a strong Brønsted acid. Our findings open new opportunities for the development of novel classes of N-CF3 compounds with possible applications in the life sciences.

Abstract
CF3-substituted imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides (TFISYs) are extraordinarily versatile and powerful synthons for use in cyclization chemistry that affords diverse CF3-substituted N-heterocycles. We first reacted TFISYs as a two-atom synthon with readily available azoalkenes and then subjected the products to metal-free formal (4+2) cycloaddition chemistry. This protocol features mild conditions and broad substrate scope, is simple to operate, and provides highly functionalized trifluoromethylpyridazines that are widely found in bioactive molecules.

Abstract
The departure into unknown chemical space is essential for the discovery of new properties and function. We herein report the first synthetic access to N-trifluoromethylated formamides. The method involves the reduction of bench-stable NCF3 carbamoyl fluorides and is characterized by operational simplicity and mildness, tolerating a broad range of functional groups as well as stereocenters. The newly made N-CF3 formamide motif proved to be highly robust and compatible with diverse chemical transformations, underscoring its potential as building block in complex functional molecules.

Abstract
An efficient methodology for the synthesis of a wide range of N-CF3 imidic acid derivatives is presented. In this reaction, N-CF3 nitrilium ions were generated via N-trifluoromethylation of nitriles using PhICF3Cl under catalysis with DMAP, followed by the capture of N-, O-, or S-centered nucleophiles to give diverse N-CF3 amidines, imidates, and thioimidates. The method provides a platform for preparing N-CF3 compounds with potential applications.
