Abstract
The BnSRf (Rf = CF2H or CF3)/mCPBA/Tf2O system was found to be an effective multicomponent reagent system for the one-pot synthesis of di/trifluoromethylthiolated heterocycles from alkynes. The reaction was postulated to proceed via a cascade sequence involving the oxidation of BnSRf by mCPBA, activation of the in situ-generated sulfoxide by Tf2O, and intramolecular cyclization/fluoromethylthiolation of the alkyne substrates enabled by the formed electrophilic sulfonium salt to give di/trifluoromethylthiolated heterocycles.
