Copper‐Catalyzed Oxidative Trifluoromethylthiolation of Aryl Boronic Acids with TMSCF₃ and Elemental Sulfur

Abstract

Fluorinated functionality: The copper-catalyzed oxidative trifluoromethylthiolation of aryl boronic acids with TMSCF3 and elemental sulfur at room temperature is described for the first time. This reaction provides a concise and efficient method for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers (ArSCF3) under mild conditions. Phen=Phenanthroline.
