An efficient Ru-catalyzed regioselective allylic trifluoromethylthiolation reaction of allylic carbonates was developed. The linear allylic trifluoromethyl thioethers were obtained in 52-91% yields. Mechanistic investigation revealed that this reaction proceeds via a double allylic trifluoromethylthiolation sequence.

Asymmetric electrophilic reactions provide an ideal method for the construction of chiral molecules by incorporating one or more functional groups into the parent substrates under mild conditions. However, due to the issues of the reactivities of electrophilic species and the possible racemization of chiral intermediates as well as the restriction of the chiral scaffolds of chiral catalysts, many limitations remain in this field, such as the narrow scopes of substrates and electrophiles as well as the limited types of nucleophiles and reactions. To overcome the limitations in the synthesis of diversified chiral molecules, we developed a series of indane-based chiral amino aryl chalcogenide catalysts.

A metal-free visible-light-induced trifluoromethylation of Bunte salts of α-bromoketones/alkyl bromide/benzyl bromides/functionalized allyl (Baylis-Hillman) bromides has been accomplished using Langlois' reagent in the presence of inexpensive eosin Y as a photocatalyst to form the privileged trifluoromethylthiolated synthons. The method is straightforward, operationally simple, and endowed with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.

The carbonyl group stands as a fundamental scaffold and plays a ubiquitous role in synthetically important chemical reactions in both academic and industrial contexts. Venerable transformations, including the aldol reaction, Grignard reaction, Wittig reaction, and Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction, constitute a vast and empowering synthetic arsenal. Notwithstanding, two-electron mechanisms inherently confine the breadth of accessible reactivity and topological patterns.

A selenium-catalyzed trifluoromethylthiolation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of tertiary allylic and propargylic alcohols which could provide straightforward and facile access to trifluoromethyl sulfoxides was developed. Various allylic and allenic trifluoromethyl sulfoxides were obtained with moderate to excellent yields. Meanwhile, a Lewis acid mediated trifluoromethylthiolation/1,2-rearrangement to synthesize β-SCF carbonyl compounds was also accomplished.

An unprecedented approach for efficient synthesis of functionalized allylic gem-difluorides via catalytic fluorinative Meyer-Schuster-like rearrangement is disclosed. This transformation proceeded with readily accessible propargylic fluorides, and low-cost B-F reagents and electrophilic reagents by sulfide catalysis. A series of iodinated, brominated, and trifluoromethylthiolated allylic gem-difluorides that were difficult to access by other methods were facilely produced with a wide range of functional groups.
