Application

S-(Trifluoromethyl)thianthrenium triflate (TT-CF3+ OTf-) is a trifluoromethylation reagent active for a diverse substrate range. Developed by the Ritter Lab, the enchanced activity is accomplished by participation in either nucleophilic, radical, or electrophilic mechanisms depending on the selected reaction conditions, allowing for the introduction of trifluoromethyl moieties to many substrates with a high functional group tolerance.

Here we report the synthesis and application of trifluoromethyl thianthrenium triflate (TT-CF3+OTf-) as a novel trifluoromethylating reagent, which is conveniently accessible in a single step from thianthrene and triflic anhydride. We demonstrate the use of TT-CF3+OTf- in electrophilic, radical, and
