While several trifluoromethylation reactions involving the electrochemical generation of CF3 radicals via anodic oxidation have been reported, the alternative cathodic, reductive radical generation has remained elusive. Herein, the first cathodic trifluoromethylation of arenes and heteroarenes is reported. The method is based on the electrochemical reduction of an unstable triflyltriethylammonium complex generated in situ from inexpensive triflyl chloride and triethylamine, which produces CF3 radicals that are trapped by the arenes on the cathode surface.

The general catalytic synthesis of aryl and vinyl thioethers from readily available halides remains a challenge. Herein we report a unified method for the thiolation of aryl and vinyl iodides with dialkyl disulfides using visible light photoredox catalysis. A range of thioether products bearing diverse functional groups can be accessed in high yield and with excellent chemoselectivity. We demonstrate the versatility of this method through the expedient synthesis of a family of thioether-rich natural products. A detailed investigation of the photocatalytic mechanism is presented from both steady-state and time-resolved luminescent quenching as well as transient absorption spectroscopy experiments.

An iridium/bipyridine-catalyzed ortho-selective C?H borylation of aryl sulfides was developed. High ortho-selectivity was achieved by a Lewis acid–base interaction between a boryl group of the ligand and a sulfur atom of the substrate. This is the first example of a catalytic and regioselective C?H transformation controlled by a Lewis acid–base interaction between a ligand and a substrate. The C?H borylation reaction could be conducted on a gram scale, and with a bioactive molecule as a substrate, demonstrating its applicability to late-stage regioselective C?H borylation. A bioactive molecule was synthesized from an ortho-borylated product by converting the boryl and methylthio groups of the product.

Photo-sensitized synthesis of arylsulfides from arenediazonium salts in the presence of eosin Y has been developed. This protocol exhibits high functional group tolerance and a wide substrate scope and is an attractive alternative to the thermal reaction that involves explosive intermediates.
Copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aryl iodides with potassium (trifluoromethyl)trimethoxyborate

experimental part, p. 2689 - 2697 (2011/04/15)
Potassium (trifluoromethyl)trimethoxyborate is introduced as a new source of CF3 nucleophiles in copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation reactions. The crystalline salt is stable on storage, easy to handle, and can be obtained in near-quantitative yields simply by mixing B(OMe)3, CF3SiMe3, and KF. The trifluoromethylation reagent allows the conversion of various aryl iodides into the corresponding benzotrifluorides in high yields under mild, base-free conditions in the presence of catalytic quantities of a CuI/1,10-phenanthroline complex.

The metallation reactions of (trifluoromethyl)(alkylthio)benzenes with organolithium reagents and with the butyllithium/potassium tert-butoxide superbasic mixture are here described. The results, according to the theoretical calculations of energy minima, show the monometallation regiochemistry is directed by the sulphur atom. On the other side, the bimetallation, that can be performed only on methylthio derivatives, depends on the organometallic reagent employed. Using butyllithium the stronger coordinative power of sulphur prevails and products metallated in ortho and alpha positions to this atom are mainly formed. With the more basic sec-butyllithium and with the Superbase, because of mutual competition between the thioalkyl and trifluoromethyl groups, mixtures of products, coming from metallation in the ortho position to the trifluoromethyl group and in the alpha position of the thiomethylic group, are obtained. In addition, products coming from substitution ortho,alpha to the thiomethyl group are also formed. All mono- and bimetallated intermediates showed to be good synthons for the synthesis of fluoro- and (trifluoromethyl)-substituted benzothiophenes and (trifluoromethyl)benzenes substituted on the thioalkylic chain and/or on the ring.
