Copper-mediated oxidative trifluoromethylthiolation of unactivated terminal alkenes†
Abstract
A general method to form a C(SP3)–SCF3 bond via copper-mediated oxidative trifluoromethylthiolation of unactivated alkenes with stable nucleophilic AgSCF3 was developed. This protocol provides a direct and efficient access to a series of trifluoromethylthiolated allylic compounds with broad functional group tolerance.
