• efficient way for the synthesis of β-trifluoromethyl β-diacylamino esters. Furthermore, this reaction represents the first example of a Mumm rearrangement of β-trifluoromethyl β-diazo esters. Keywords: β-carbonyl diazo; copper catalyst; fluoroalkyl diazo; Mumm rearrangement; unsymmetrical β-diacylamino

• esters, which enriches the studied content of fluoroalkyl diazo compounds. Results and Discussion Due to the instability of β-carbonyl diazo compounds and the occurrence of possible side reactions [58][59][60][61], screening of reaction conditions to optimize this conversion and inhibit the occurrence of
