The thiolation of pentafluorobenzene with disulfides by C-H, C-F bond activation and C-S bond formationf

摘要

A metal-free thiolation reaction between pentafluorobenzene and disulfides by C-H, C-F bond activation and C-S bond formation is reported. Bisthiolated tetrafluorobenzene derivatives would be prepared in moderate to good yields from pentafluorobenzene and disulfides under mild conditions. A possible mechanism for the reaction was given.
