Selective oxidation and chlorination of trifluoromethylsulfide using trichloroisocyanuric acid in ionic liquid
A route to chemoselective oxidation and chlorination of aryltrifluoromethylsulfide using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) in ionic liquid, an efficiently O-methylation reaction and a reduction of nitro- to amido- in excellent yields have been developed.
