Fig. 4: The reaction of bare CF₃⁻ with various electrophilic substrates in GLD-2.

Isolated yield. ^aThe resulting CF₃⁻ solution was reacted with an electrophile at –50 °C. ^bThe CF₃⁻ solution was reacted with an electrophile at −78 °C. ^cTESCl (2 equiv) was used. ^dThe yield was determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy using an internal standard.
