A series of S-hydrogen phosphorothioates have been converted to the corresponding S-trifluoromethyl derivatives upon reaction with the electrophilic trifluoromethylation reagent 1 (trifluoromethyl 1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1,2- benziodoxole). Relative rate data were obtained by 19F NMR monitoring of competition experiments and were evaluated by means of the Taft equation. A high positive polar sensitivity factor of 2.55 was found for electron-rich substrates and a negative one of -0.37 for electron-poor ones, implying the involvement of two different rate-determining steps. Furthermore, the reaction was found to be unaffected by steric factors.
