Base‐Catalyzed Electrophilic Trifluoromethylthiolation of Terminal Alkynes

Abstract

Pin the tail on the alkyne: CF3S- or CF3CF2S-alkynes can be simply and quickly obtained by mixing terminal alkynes with a trifluoromethanesulfenamide reagent. The reaction uses easy-to-handle reagents, and functions under mild conditions without activation by transition metals.
