Electrophilic Trifluoromethanesulfanylation of Organometallic Species with Trifluoromethanesulfanamides

Abstract

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.
