Abstract The integration of trifluoromethyl groups and three-dimensional quaternary carbon moieties into organic molecules has emerged as a prominent strategy in medicinal chemistry to augment drug efficacy. Although (hetero)aromatic amines derivatives are prevalent frameworks pharmaceuticals, the development trifluoromethyl-embedded, intricately structured alkyl amine scaffolds for research remains significant challenge. Herein, we present metallaphotoredox multicomponent amination employing 3,3,3-trifluoropropene, nitroarenes, tertiary alkylamines, carboxylic acids. This synthetic pathway offers notable advantages, including accessibility cost-effectiveness starting materials, high levels chemo- regioselectivity, modularity. Furthermore, this approach enables synthesis broad spectrum aniline compounds featuring both group distal motifs along aliphatic chains. accelerated access such elaborate N -trifluoroalkyl anilines likely involves three sequential radical-mediated coupling events, providing insightful implications retrosynthesis potential discovery.
