Abstract

A metal-free entry to the pharmaceutically meaningful substrate class of trifluoromethyl thioethers has been developed starting from widely available arenediazonium salts and commercially available Me4N+SCF3−. This reaction proceeds within one hour at 0 °C and is applicable to a wide range of functionalized substrates.
