Abstract
Direct trifluoromethylthiolation and trifluoromethylselenolation of alcohols with the new CS(Se)CF3 reagent based on imidazole skeleton has been realized. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature under transition-metal-free conditions and affords the corresponding trifluoromethylthiolated and trifluoromethylselenolated products in good yields. Advantages of the method include mildness, good compatibility, high efficiency, and good functional group tolerance and the late-stage dehydroxytrifluoromethylselenolation of complex alcohols.
