Significance
Fluorinated molecules attract much attention due to their potential applications in many fields of chemistry (e.g. pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or materials chemistry). One interesting moiety in this context is the trifluoromethanesulfanyl (CF3S) group. The authors present a direct way to add this group to alkenes and alkynes using trifluoromethanesulfanylamides (1 or 7) which avoid the use of the previously reported very toxic reagent CF3SCl. In most cases, Lewis acid activation with BF3 OEt2 results in the best yields.
