Reactions of bromotrifluoromethane and related halides: synthesis of trifluoromethyl sulphides from disulphides
Abstract
The reaction of trifluoromethyl bromide with disulphides in the presence of dithionite or hydroxymethanesulphinate salts in DMF–H2O (DMF = dimethylformamide) medium leads to the formation of aliphatic and aromatic trifluoromethyl sulphides.
