A family of electrophilic trifluoromethanesulfenates was prepared. Structure–reactivity relationship studies showed that the substituted groups on the aryl ring of the trifluoromethylthiolating reagent did not have an obvious influence on their reactivities. A simplified electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating reagent 1c was then identified that can react with a wide range of nucleophiles such as Grignard
ortho/para-functionalized amine scaffolds from arylhydroxylamines is described. The transformation was featured with new electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolated reagents, good functional group tolerance, and late-stage modification of complex bioactive scaffolds, providing a rapid access to prepare numerous trifluoromethyl- and difluoromethyl-substituted sulfoxides. Mechanism studies and density functional
No heat: The direct introduction of the trifluoromethylthio (SCF3) group into drug candidates has received significant attention. Herein, we report an alkali- and heat-free method for the trifluoromethylthiolation of aryl boronic acid substrates using a sulfonyl trifluoromethylthiolating reagent in the water phase. This method shows good tolerance towards various functional groups with satisfactory yields
