- Diversification of Trifluoromethylthiolation of Aromatic Molecules with Derivatives of Trifluoromethanesulfenamide
-
Trifluoromethylthiolation of aromatic compounds with different electrophilic reagents of the type ArNHSCF3 was studied in the presence of triflic acid as an activator. The effect of the reagent structure on the reactivity was studied with three different reagents: PhNHSCF3 (H/SCF3, 1a), 4-ClC6H4NHSCF3 (Cl/SCF3, 1b) and C6F5NHSCF3 (F5/SCF3, 1c). p-Chloro substituted reagent 1b was more stable than the unsubstituted 1a and was the most effective because it could not react by trifluoromethylthiolation of itself. This reaction was the most important side reaction of 1a. The pentafluoro derivative 1c was less reactive. Solvent played an important role in the transformation and, depending on the substrate, dichloromethane, hexane or trifluoroacetic acid gave the best yield of various trifluoromethylthiolated aromatic molecules (63–98 %).

- Electrophilic aromatic trifluoromethylthiolation with the second generation of trifluoromethanesulfenamide
-
Direct trifluoromethylthiolation of various aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, variously substituted, can be performed with the second generation of trifluoromethanesulfenamide via a 'Friedel-Crafts-like reaction'. This reaction requires mild conditions with a catalytic amount of protic or Lewis acid. Good results have been obtained, even with aromatic compounds bearing deactivating substituents.

- One pot synthesis of trifluoromethyl aryl sulfoxides by trifluoromethylthiolation of arenes and subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide
-
Hydrogen peroxide was used for oxidation of various aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides. Trifluoroacetic acid was used as an activating solvent that enables non-catalyzed oxidation and increases selectivity for sulfoxide formation. As shown by oxidation of thianthrene TFA enhances electrophilic character of the oxidant and further oxidation of sulfoxide group is blocked. We have joined trifluoromethylthiolation of arenes using a modified Billard reagent (p-ClPhNHSCF3) with oxidation of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides using 1.2 equiv. of 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide and this one-pot process has superior yields than would have been obtained in a two step process.

- Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of Aryl Trifluoromethyl Thioethers through Indirect Trifluoromethylthiolation of Sodium Arylsulfinate with TMSCF3
-
Herein, we report an indirect trifluoromethylthiolation of sodium arylsulfinates. This transition-metal-free reaction significantly provides an environmentally friendly and practical synthetic method for aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers using commercial Ruppert-Prakash reagent TMSCF3. This approach is also a potential alternative to the current industrial production method owing to facile substrates, excellent functional group compatibility, and operational simplicity.

- Metal-Free Direct Trifluoromethylthiolation of Aromatic Compounds Using Triptycenyl Sulfide Catalyst
-
Herein we report an efficient synthetic method for the electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolation of aromatic compounds. The key is to use triptycenyl sulfide (Trip-SMe) and TfOH to enhance the electrophilicity of SCF3 fragment through the formation of sulfonium intermediates. This method enables direct installation of an SCF3 group onto unactivated aromatics at room temperature, adopting a commercially available saccharin-based reagent. Preliminary DFT calculation was carried out to investigate the substitution effect on the catalytic activity.

A sulfonic anhydride-promoted direct trifluoromethylthiolation using NaSO2CF3 has been developed. The simple and practical strategy enabled the direct introduction of SCF3 moiety into unexplored arene scaffolds under reductant- and metal-free condition at room temperature. (Figure presented.).

- N-Trifluoromethylthio-dibenzenesulfonimide: A Shelf-Stable, Broadly Applicable Electrophilic Trifluoromethylthiolating Reagent
-
The super electrophilicity of a shelf-stable, easily prepared trifluoromethylthiolating reagent N-trifluoromethylthio-dibenzenesulfonimide 7 was demonstrated. Consistent with the theoretical prediction, 7 exhibits reactivity remarkably higher than that of other known electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating reagents. In the absence of any additive, 7 reacted with a wide range of electron-rich arenes and activated heteroarenes under mild conditions. Likewise, reactions of 7 with styrene derivatives can be fine-tuned by simply changing the reaction solvents to generate trifluoromethylthiolated styrenes or oxo-trifluoromethylthio or amino-trifluoromethylthio difunctionalized compounds in high yields.

- Synthesis of Aryl Tri- and Difluoromethyl Thioethers via a C H-Thiocyanation/Fluoroalkylation Cascade
-
An AlCl3-catalyzed C H thiocyanation was discovered and combined with a Langlois-type trifluoromethylation to afford aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers directly from arenes, N-thiocyanatosuccinimide (NTS) and Ruppert-Prakash reagent. An analogous combination with a copper-mediated difluoromethylation gives access to aryl difluoromethyl thioethers. Both processes proceed with exceptional regioselectivity for the most electron-rich, sterically least hindered position of the arene. The sulfur and fluoroalkyl groups originate from different sources, so that the use of expensive, preformed fluoroalkylthiolation reagents is avoided. Perfectly formed: An AlCl3-catalyzed C H thiocyanation was combined with a Langlois-type trifluoromethylation to afford aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers directly from arenes, N-thiocyanatosuccinimide, and TMS-CF3 (see scheme). An analogous combination of the thiocyanation with a copper-mediated difluoromethylation gives access to aryl difluoromethyl thioethers. The sulfur and fluoroalkyl groups originate from different sources, so that preformed fluoroalkylthiolation reagents are avoided.

- Convenient synthesis and isolation of trifluoromethylthio-substituted building blocks
-
Various aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkyl mercaptanes (RSH, 1a-r) were treated with a slight excess of NaH suspended in DMF to make the appropriate sodium thiolates (RSNa), which then reacted with 1.3 equivalent of CF3I at room temperature for overnight to afford the appropriate trifluoromethyl sulfides (CF3SR, 2) in fair to good yields. The radical chain alkylation reaction was effective without the use of UV irradiation with all but three substrates (thiosalicylic acid, 1k; 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 1q; and 3-mercaptopropionic acid, 1r). Steam-distillation was found as an effective and easy to upscale means for the isolation of these volatile and water immiscible sulfides. The CF3I reagent gas was conveniently weighed and delivered to the reaction mixture by the balloon technique or as a preliminary made stock solution in DMF or DMSO. The sulfides 2 obtained here were assayed by GC and characterized by 1H, 13C, 19F NMR and MS spectroscopy.
