Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(97)00147-4

Anodic oxidation of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl phenyl sulfide 1 was carried out in methanol containing Et₃N · 3HF to provide the corresponding α-methoxylated product 2 in good yield while this oxidation was performed in acetonitrite
