A combination of ruthenium catalyst with silver salt and copper salt was proved to be a highly efficient protocol for the direct addition reaction of benzoic acids with unsymmetrical trifluoromethylated internal alkynes. Diverse trifluoromethyl group-substituted ( E )-enol esters were readily obtained for a broad substrate scope in moderate to good yields with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions.
