Usage

General Description

Bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfide, also known as trifluoromethyl disulfide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula (CF3)2S. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor, and it is used as a solvent and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfide is highly reactive and can act as a sulfenylating agent, meaning it can transfer its sulfur atom to other molecules. It is also known to have potential applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries due to its unique chemical properties. However, it is important to handle this compound with care as it is toxic and can cause irritation to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes.

Copper(I)-mediated direct trifluoromethylthiolation of allylic halides with elemental sulfur and (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane

Abstract A new method has been developed for the copper-mediated trifluoromethylthiolation of allylic halides by using potassium fluoride, elemental sulfur, and (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide. This protocol provides facile access to a variety of allylic trifluoromethyl thioethers in moderate to good yields under mild, ligand-free reaction conditions.
