Summary:The Cu‐catalyzed high‐chemoselective trifluoromethylation reactions of unactivated cycloalkenes via the modulation of appropriate ligands have been explored. The Cu(I)/appropriate ligands‐catalytic systems overcome the key challenge in differentiating two pathways involving radical intermediates and provide a ligand‐controlled approach for site‐specific spiro‐aryltrifluoromethylation and chlorotrifluoromethylation to afford trifluoromethylated spiro‐tetrahydroquinoline compounds and vicinal Cl‐containing trifluoromethyl cycloalkanes. Moreover, compared with reported chlorine sources, 1,2‐dichloroethane is used as more green and economical feedstock for chlorotrifluoromethylation.
