Nucleophilic CF3 has been generated by decarboxylation of potassium trifluoroacetate, arguably the most easy-to-handle, inexpensive, and sustainable source of trifluoromethyl groups. Simple iron(II) chloride catalyzes the decarboxylation as well as a subsequent trifluoromethylation of organothiocyanates, resulting in a straightforward synthesis of trifluoromethyl thioethers. The KCN byproduct is absorbed by iron(II) with formation of nontoxic potassium hexacyanoferrate. An analogous trifluoromethylation of aldehydes with trifluoroacetate underlines the synthetic potential of such iron-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylations.

A novel transition-metal-free cross-coupling method for the one-step synthesis of thiocyanates via the C-S bond cleavage of readily available thioethers with aryl(cyano)-iodonium triflates as the cyanating agent is developed. This process features relatively broad substrate scopes, less-toxic hypervalent iodine reagents, mild operating conditions, excellent functional group compatibilities, and affords various thiocyanates in moderate to good yields.
