Abstract
An unexpected synthesis of vinyl trifluoromethyl thioethers from epoxides has been described. Treatment of epoxides with AgSCF3 in the presence of n-Bu4NI and KI in toluene afforded various vinyl trifluoromethyl thioethers in moderate to good yields. The use of easily available substrates and tolerance of wide functional groups are the notable advantages of this protocol.
