Anodic methoxylation and acetoxylation of 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl sulfides and the corresponding nonfluorinated sulfides were comparatively studied. It was found that a trifluoromethyl group remarkably promoted anodic substitution and methoxy and acetoxy groups were introduced adjacent to the trifluoromethyl group of the sulfides. Longer perfluoroalkyl groups also promoted these anodic substitutions. These products were ...
