- Nickel-catalyzed trifluoromethylthiolation of Csp2-O bonds
-
While nickel catalysts have previously been shown to activate even the least reactive Csp2-O bonds, i.e. aryl ethers, in the context of C-C bond formation, little is known about the reactivity limits and molecular requirements for the introduction of valuable functional groups under homogeneous nickel catalysis. We identified that due to the high reactivity of Ni-catalysts, they are also prone to react with existing or installed functional groups, which ultimately causes catalyst deactivation. The scope of the Ni-catalyzed coupling protocol will therefore be dictated by the reactivity of the functional groups towards the catalyst. Herein, we showed that the application of computational tools allowed the identification of matching functional groups in terms of suitable leaving groups and tolerated functional groups. This allowed for the development of the first efficient protocol to trifluoromethylthiolate Csp2-O bonds, giving the mild and operationally simple C-SCF3 coupling of a range of aryl, vinyl triflates and nonaflates. The novel methodology was also applied to biologically active and pharmaceutical relevant targets, showcasing its robustness and wide applicability.

- Mild and Soft Catalyzed Trifluoromethylthiolation of Boronic Acids: The Crucial Role of Water
-
The most reactive 2nd generation of trifluoromethanesulfenamides undergoes a copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with boronic acids to afford CF3S-molecules. Contrary to the previous methods in the literature, no base addition, no heating, and no large excess of reagents are required to obtain good results. Furthermore, a crucial role of a small amount of water to favor this reaction has been demonstrated. This constitutes the mildest described conditions for such a reaction.

- Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of Aryl Trifluoromethyl Thioethers through Indirect Trifluoromethylthiolation of Sodium Arylsulfinate with TMSCF3
-
Herein, we report an indirect trifluoromethylthiolation of sodium arylsulfinates. This transition-metal-free reaction significantly provides an environmentally friendly and practical synthetic method for aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers using commercial Ruppert-Prakash reagent TMSCF3. This approach is also a potential alternative to the current industrial production method owing to facile substrates, excellent functional group compatibility, and operational simplicity.

- Metal-Free Trifluoromethylthiolation of Arylazo Sulfones
-
A visible-light-driven protocol for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers under photocatalyst- and metal-free conditions has been pursued. The procedure exploits the peculiar properties of arylazo sulfones (having electron-rich or electron-poor substituents on the (hetero)aromatic ring) as photochemical precursors of aryl radicals and S-trifluoromethyl arylsulfonothioates as easy-to-handle trifluoromethylthiolating agents.

The reaction of copper trifluoromethyl sulfide with diaryliodonium salts provides a straightforward pathway for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers under mild reaction conditions and within short reaction times. High chemoselectivity was achieved by using mesityl as a leaving group.

- Sandmeyer-Type Trifluoromethylthiolation and Trifluoromethylselenolation of (Hetero)Aromatic Amines Catalyzed by Copper
-
Aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts were efficiently converted into the corresponding trifluoromethylthio- or selenoethers by reaction with Me4NSCF3 or Me4NSeCF3, respectively, in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper thiocyanate. These Sandmeyer-type reactions proceed within one hour at room temperature, are applicable to a wide range of functionalized molecules, and can optionally be combined with the diazotizations into one-pot protocols.

- Iron-Catalyzed Decarboxylation of Trifluoroacetate and Its Application to the Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl Thioethers
-
Nucleophilic CF3 has been generated by decarboxylation of potassium trifluoroacetate, arguably the most easy-to-handle, inexpensive, and sustainable source of trifluoromethyl groups. Simple iron(II) chloride catalyzes the decarboxylation as well as a subsequent trifluoromethylation of organothiocyanates, resulting in a straightforward synthesis of trifluoromethyl thioethers. The KCN byproduct is absorbed by iron(II) with formation of nontoxic potassium hexacyanoferrate. An analogous trifluoromethylation of aldehydes with trifluoroacetate underlines the synthetic potential of such iron-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylations.

- Acid-promoted direct electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolation of phenols
-
The electrophilic aromatic ring trifluoromethylthiolation of various substituted phenols was accomplished using PhNHSCF3 (N-trifluoromethylsulfanyl)aniline, (1) in the presence of BF3·Et2O (2) or triflic acid as the promoter. The functionalization was exclusively para-selective; phenols unsubstituted in both the ortho- and para positions solely gave the para-substituted SCF3-products in all cases, while para-substituted phenols gave the ortho-substituted SCF3-products. 3,4-Dialkyl substituted phenols yielded the corresponding products according to the Mills-Nixon effect, and estrone and estradiol furnished biologically interesting SCF3-analogues. The highly reactive catechol and pyrogallol substrates gave the expected products smoothly in the presence of BF3·Et2O, whereas less reactive phenols required triflic acid. 2-Allylphenol gave the expected p-SCF3 analogue, which underwent an addition/cyclization sequence and furnished a new di-trifluoromethylthio substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivative. Some additional transformations of 4-(trifluoromethylthio)phenol with NBS, NIS, HNO3, HNO3/H2SO4 and 4-bromobenzyl bromide were performed giving bromo-, iodo-, nitro- and benzyl substituted products. The latter derivative underwent Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with phenylboronic acid.
