Molecules containing trifluoromethoxyaryl groups are of interest in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science research, due to their unique physical and electronic properties. Many of the known methods to synthesize aryl trifluoromethyl ethers require harsh reagents and highly controlled reaction conditions and rarely occur when heteroaromatic units are present. The two-step O-trifluoromethylation of phenols via aryl xanthates is one such method that suffers from these drawbacks. Herein, we report a method for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ethers from phenols by the facile conversion of the phenol to the corresponding aryl and heteroaryl xanthates with newly synthesized imidazolium methylthiocarbonothioyl salts and conversion of these xanthates to the trifluoromethyl ethers under mild reaction conditions.

Trifluoromethyl ether and difluoro(methylthio)methyl ether of phenols and aliphatic alcohols were selectively synthesized from the corresponding dithiocarbonates. When IF5-pyridine-HF was used alone in the reaction of the dithiocarbonate, the difluoro(methylthio)methyl ether was selectively formed. On the other hand, by the additional use of Et3N-6HF with IF5-pyridine-HF, trifluoromethyl ether was formed selectively. Various functional groups such as ester, ether, amide, and acetonide could tolerate the reaction conditions, and various functionalized difluoro(methylthio)methyl ethers and trifluoromethyl ethers were synthesized.

Trifluoromethyl ethers R-OCF3 are easily synthesized from the corresponding dithiocarbonates R-OCS2Me (R = aryl or primary alkyl) by a reagent system consisting of 70% HF/pyridine and an N-halo imide. When the reaction is applied to R-OCS2Me wherein R = secondary alkyl, tertiary alkyl, or benzylic group, fluorination leading to the corresponding alkyl fluorides R-F is achieved, whereas a combination of 50% HF/pyridine and N- bromosuccinimide affords the corresponding trifluoromethyl ethers R-OCF3 (R = secondary).
