Abstract An intermolecular C(sp 3 )−H amination reaction is reported that is promoted by internal oxidants and occurs via a C=N bond formation step. This intermolecular C(sp 3 )−H amination reaction of trifluoromethyl ketones and aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates affords various valuable trifluoroacetylated hydrazones in high yields with excellent E / Z selectivities. The salient features of this reaction type is that it is free of metal, catalyst, directing groups, and azides, and that it can be carried out under mild conditions, is operationally simple and efficient, gram‐scalable, and it tolerates various functional groups. Remarkably, an ectoparasites‐controlling agent was smoothly synthesized on a gram scale using our method. Aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates served as the aminating reagents as well as an internal oxidant.
