Abstract

The regioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of indole derivatives was achieved under reductive conditions with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride as the readily available source of electrophilic SCF3 and a phosphine as the reducing agent. It is a straightforward process free from any metal and also applicable for the trifluoromethylthiolation of other azaarenes, enamines, and enoxysilanes.
