Abstract

Abstract Trifluoromethylthiocopper (I) has been readily prepared from the silver analogue, using a metathetical reaction with copper (I) bromide. Homogeneous CuSCF 3 and the supported reagent CuSCF 3-alumina have been compared in their reactivity towards aryl iodides, in order to form trifluoromethylaryl sulphides in good yields.
