1-(Trifluoromethyl)-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (Togni reagent II) is a highly effective electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagent. It is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in polar organic solvents. The reagent offers trifluoromethylation of carbon- and sulfur-centered nucleophiles, copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of unactivated olefins, phenol derivatives trifluoromethylation, zinc-mediated formation of trifluoromethyl ethers from alcohols1,2. Togni reagent II has a predictable positional selectivity and a high functional group compatibility3. Despite simple procedures and mild reaction conditions, the reagent has explosive properties that are important to remember while working4,5.

Synonyms: 1-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-benziodoxol-3-(1H)-one; 1-(trifluoromethyl)-1lambda3,2-benziodoxol-3-one; 1-(trifluoromethyl)-1|E3,2-benziodoxol-3-one
