The difunctionalizative trifluoromethylation of unsaturated CÀ C bonds is a highly useful and efficient method for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl compounds with attractive architectures from simple feedstocks, allowing the introduction of the CF 3 group along with a wide variety of substituents either inter-or intramolecularly. Given that trifluoromethyl molecules are increasingly used as promising bioactive species in the design of new drugs and agrochemicals, difunctionalizative trifluoromethylation has been extensively studied during the last decade. This review focuses on reactions proceeding via the simultaneous formation of CÀ heteroatom (O, N, S, Se, B) and CÀ H bonds, as these reactions provide useful CF 3 group-containing building blocks. To identify the trends and prospects of the evolution of this methodology, we systematically describe the variants of these types of reactions and provide a more general view of reaction conditions, modes, and mechanisms. The presented comprehensive survey enables the categorization of reactions into those that are synthetically mature and those with room for further development. 1.Shintaro Kawamura completed his Ph.D. at Kyoto University in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Masaharu Nakamura. Since 2012, he has worked in Prof. Mikiko Sodeoka's group at RIKEN. He was promoted from a postdoctoral researcher to a Research Scientist (2017) and then to a Senior Research Scientist (2021) at RIK-EN. Dr. Kawamura's research interests include fluoroalkylation reactions based on the precise reactivity control of radical species. Pablo Barrio completed his Ph.D. at the University of Oviedo in 2007 under the supervision of Prof. Barluenga. After a postdoctoral role in the group of Prof. Carreira at ETH Zurich, he joined the group of Prof. Fustero in 2009 as a Juan de la Cierva Fellow, working for several years in the field of organofluorine chemistry. In 2018, he moved to Oviedo as a Ramón y Cajal Fellow, joining the Selective Organic Synthesis (SOS) group. Dr. Barrio's research interests include gold catalysis. Santos Fustero studied Chemistry at the University of Zaragoza, where he obtained his B.S. and Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Barluenga and Prof. Gotor. He spent two years as a postdoctoral research associate at Prof. Lehmkuhl's laboratory at Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. In 1983, he became Associate Professor at the University of Oviedo, Spain, and was promoted to Full Professor at the University of Valencia in 1990. In 2005, he became a research group leader at Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe in Valencia. Prof. Fustero's research interests include organofluorine and medicinal chemistry, organocatalysis, heterocyclic chemistry, and new reaction methodologies. Jorge Escorihuela received his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Universitat Jaume I (Castellon, Spain) in 2009. After a postdoctoral stage at Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), he worked at Wageningen University and Research (the Netherlands) with Prof. Zuilho...
