Electrochemical Trifluoromethylation of Thiophenols with Sodium Trifluoromethanesulfinate

We developed an electrochemical trifluoromethylation of thiophenols without the use of metal catalysts and oxidants. This reaction features mild reaction conditions, readily available substrate, as well as moderate to good yields. In addition, this protocol can be easily scaled up with moderate efficiency.

Perfluoroalkylation of Thiosulfonates: Synthesis of Perfluoroalkyl Sulfides

A practical synthesis of perfluoroalkyl sulfides is described. The method employs stable and readily accessible thiosulfonates as new electrophiles with commercial nucleophilic perfluoroalkylating reagents. The mild reaction conditions allow access to a wide variety of both aryl- and alkyl-substituted perfluoroalkyl sulfides amenable to pharmaceutical development. Furthermore, the reaction operation is straightforward, odorless, does not produce toxic wastes, and, therefore should appeal to practitioners in industrial-scale productions.

Visible-Light-Mediated Synthesis of Trifluoromethylthiolated Arenes

The visible-light-mediated synthesis of trifluoromethylthiolated arenes in the presence of ruthenium-based photocatayst under mild reaction conditions is reported. The trifluoromethylthiolated arenes are obtained using the shelf-stable reagent trifluoromethyl toluenethiosulfonate at room temperature. The reaction proceeds selectively and does not require the presence of any additive. A mechanism is proposed based on the obtained results of EPR as well as luminescence.
