Simple Procedures for the Hydrolysis of Trimethyl Trithioorthocarboxylates to Methyl Thiolcarboxylates. A Convenient Route to Electron-Rich Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Methyl Thiolcarboxylates
Synthetic Application of Tris(methylthio)methyl Salts. An Efficient Route to Trithioorthocarboxylic Esters from Strongly Activated Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Systems
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel substance that has a high reactivity as a fluorinating agent, is effectively used in various fluorination reactions, and is safely handled even in air. As the solution for achieving this object, the present invention provides a complex obtained by reacting bromine trifluoride with at least one metal halide selected from the group consisting of halogenated metals and halogenated hydrogen metals in a nonpolar solvent. This complex serves as a fluorinating agent that provides excellent fluorination performance and that is stable in air.

Synthetic Application of Tris(methylthio)methyl Salts. An Efficient Route to Trithioorthocarboxylic Esters from Strongly Activated Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Systems
Nine trithioorthocarboxylic esters were synthesized by reaction of tris(methylthio)methyl methyl sulfate or tetrafluoroborate with electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, i.e. N,N-dialkylarylamines, pyrroles, and indoles. The new procedure is simple and offers the following advantages: easy preparation of reagents; mild reaction conditions; possibility to introduce two tris(methylthio)methyl groups into the same ring, good to excellent yields.

Trimethyl trithioorthocarboxylates of N,N-dialkylarylamines, pyrroles and indoles were easily converted into the corresponding methyl thiolcarboxylates by partial hydrolysis with DMSO/water (4:1), at 130°C for 5-100 h or with DMSO/35% aqueous tetrafluoroboric acid (4: 1), at 80-130°C for 20 min - 4 h in excellent yields (86-98% and 82-99%, respectively).
