Abstract

A simple, mild, and efficient method for an oxidative radical triﬂuoromethylthiolation of alkenes through AgSCF₃/K₂S₂O₈ system has been developed. This reaction provides a straightforward way to synthesize a variety of useful α-SCF₃-substituted ketone compounds from a wide range of alkenes in moderate to good yields.

Key words

triﬂuoromethylthiolation - alkenes - AgSCF₃ - α-SCF₃-substituted ketone - radical pathway
