A method for facile difluoromethylation of various thiols using (difluoromethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide under mild reaction conditions is presented. The transformation proceeds in the absence of any transition metal using a bench-stable and readily accessible phosphonium salt. Deuterium labeling experiments and cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal that the difluoromethylation occurs via a SRN1-type mechanism. Substrate scope is broad, and various functional groups are tolerated (OH, NH2, amide, ester).

Direct S-difluoromethylation of aryl and aliphatic thiols using the Ruppert-Prakash reagent is demonstrated. The reaction produces trimethylsilyldifluoromethyl sulfides, which upon cleavage with fluoride produces the difluoromethyl sulfides. The key reaction features are the use of relatively inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, shorter reaction times, ambient temperatures, easy reaction procedure, and selective S-difluoromethylation in the presence of -OH, -NH2 and -CO2H functional groups. Furthermore, one-pot arylthiodifluoromethyl transfer to PhCHO is also demonstrated.
