Perfluoroalkylation of aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic thiols by perfluoroalkyl iodides in the presence of Et3N appears to occur spontaneously under daylight or the usual laboratory lighting conditions at 20-22 deg C and is complete in 10-15 min to 2-3 h.An exception to this rule are thiols with a low nucleophilicity.The reaction is accompanied by thiol oxidation (2percent-3percent) and depends directly on the temperature, lighting, solvent polarity and electronic properties of the perfluoroalkylating agents and of the thiol substituents.At the same time, formation of diaryl disulphides frequently occurs contrary to above rules.The reaction mechanism is discussed. - Keywords: Ion-radical perfluoroalkylation; Thiols; Perfluoroalkyl iodides; Reaction mechanism; Nucleophilicity; NMR spectroscopy

It has been shown that under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis under UV-irradiation perfluoroalkyl iodides react with aliphatic and aromatic thiols in the water-organic solvent media to form alkyl or aryl perfluoroalkyl sulfides in 60-80 percent yields.
