Copper‐catalyzeddirect perfluoroalkylthiolation of alkynes by using the corresponding perfluoroalkanesulfenamide reagent is reported. The selective mono‐ and bis‐perfluoroalkylthiolation of alkynes can be conducted under very mild conditions (no base, room temperature) in very good to excellent yields. This approach, which uses a low toxicity, inexpensive copper catalyst that incorporates a commercially

It's so easy! Direct trifluoromethanesulfanylation reactions remain difficult to perform because of the lack of reagents that are stable and easy to handle. Trifluoromethanesulfanamides are reagents which, in combination with readily available Grignard reagents, can be used by those without experience in fluorine chemistry to easily synthesize trifluoromethylthioethers.
