This paper reports a new and practical method of trifluoroacetoxysulfenylation of olefins, starting from t-butyl sulfoxides.The latter, in a mixture of trifluoroacetic anhydride and trifluoroacetic acid, do not undergo the Pummerer reaction.Instead, sulfenyltrifluoroacetates 2 are formed and they add in situ to olefins.
