The reactions of the HO-, CH3S-, CH2S- and CH2=C(CH3)-CH2- ions with three ketones (CF3COR; R=CH3, CF3, C6H5) and three esters of trifluoroacetic acid (CF3CO2R; R=CH3, C2H5 and C6H5) have been studied with use of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. All four negative ions react exclusively by proton transfer with CF3COCH3. With the other substrates, the HO- ion reacts by various pathways, such as proton transfer, SN2 substitution, E2 elimination and attack on the carbonyl group. The CH3S- ion is unreactive towards CF3COC6H5 but is able to react by hydride transfer, SN2, E2 and/or carbonyl attack with the remaining neutral species. The CH2S- radical anion reacts by electron transfer to afford stable molecular radical anions of CF3COCF3 and CF3COC6H5, whereas the main reaction with the two esters, CF3CO2CH3 and CF3CO2C2H5, is dissociative electron transfer leading to CF3CO2- and CF3- ions. The CH2=C(CH3)-CH2- anion displays a more complex reactivity pattern involving electron transfer, SN2, E2 as well as attack on the carbonyl group. Direct evidence for the occurrence of electron transfer as the initial step in an overall BAC2 type process has not been obtained for the systems studied. The reaction of the CH2S- ion with CF3CO2C6H5 was observed, however, to yield exclusively a CF3COCHS-. radical anion. Based upon the absence of a BAC2 process in the reaction of CH2S- with the methyl and ethyl esters of trifluoroacetic acid in combination with the facile occurrence of electron transfer from this radical anion, it is suggested that the CF3COCHS-. ion is formed by an initial electron transfer followed by coupling between the CH2S molecule and the CF3CO2C6H5- radical anion and subsequent loss of C6H5OH from the collision complex.

It was demonstrated by chromatographic mass spectrometry and NMR and IR spectroscopy that products of the reaction of trifluoroacetic acid with methyl thiocyanate - N-trifluoroacetyl S-methyl thiocarbamate, S-methyl trifluoroethanethioate, and N-trifluoroacetyltrifluoroacetamide - are formed simultaneously in the synthesis of thiocarbamates and esters of thiocarboxylic acids from aliphatic carboxylic acids and the nonisomerized thiocyanates in trifluoroacetic acid.

The major products of the reaction of 2-bromohexanoic acid with methyl thiocyanate in trifluoroacetic acid are S-methyl 2-bromohexanethioate (II) (55percent yield), S-methyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethanethioate (IV) (31percent yield), N-trifluoroacetyltrifluoroacetamide (V) (11percent yield), and N-trifluoroacetyl-S-methylthiolcarbamate (III) (29percent yield).N-2-Bromohexanoyl-S-methylthiolcarbamate (I), N-2-bromohexanoyltrifluoroacetamide (VI), 2-thiapropioamide (VII), and S-methyl hexanethioate (VIII) are also formed in minor amounts.
