PhSO2SCF2H: A Shelf-Stable, Easily Scalable Reagent for Radical Difluoromethylthiolation

摘要

A new shelf-stable and easily scalable difluoromethylthiolating reagent S-(difluoromethyl) benzenesulfonothioate (PhSO2SCF2H) was developed. PhSO2SCF2H is a powerful reagent for radical difluoromethylthiolation of aryl and alkyl boronic acids, decarboxylative difluoromethylthiolation of aliphatic acids, and a phenylsulfonyl-difluoromethylthio difunctionalization of alkenes under mild reaction conditions.
