Abstract

Laccase from Trametes versicolor was found to oxidize non-phenolic arenes and enable the trifluoromethylation of arenes in the presence of in situ generated CF <subscript>3</subscript> radicals at a catalyst loading as low as 0.0034%. The biocatalytic trifluoromethylation proceeded under mild conditions and could increase the yield by up to 12 fold, compared to the control.
