Abstract: In organic chemistry, the radical nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides or S RN1 mechanism is one of the most important parts of single electron-transfer (SET) reaction 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl iodide, bromide, chloride except fluoride reacted with carbanion in DMF under laboratory illumination at a specified temperature for 12 h to give the 2,2,2-trifluoroehtyl derivatives and coupling products of two R1R2R3C-. The acceleration by UV irradiation, suppression by p-dinitrobenzene or hydro-quinone showed that the reactions occurred by SRN1 mechanism. The initiation step may be spontaneous or thermal electron transfer between carbanion and halides because the reactions could occur in dark.

Key words: 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl halides, Radical nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides, Carbanion
