An unexpected regioselective synthesis of vinyl triflones was developed. This iodine-mediated C-H triflylation of styrenes with CF3SO2Na occurred at room temperature affording various vinyl triflones, which could be used for the preparation of other CF3SO2-containing compounds.

Here, we present a straightforward α--selective hydroboration of alkynyl sulfones with NHC-boranes without the need for a catalyst. This reaction is compatible with a wide range of substrates for efficiently producing structurally diverse α-borylated vinyl sulfones in satisfactory yields. The hydride transfer from NHC-borane to alkynyl triflone is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations for -hydroboration.

A visible-light-initiated trifluoromethylation/remote aliphatic C-H alkynylation of α-alkyl-substituted vinyl azides using acetylenic triflones as both the trifluoromethyl and alkyne donors is described. The reaction occurred under environmentally benign and radical initiator-free reaction conditions, affording γ-alkynylated trifluoromethyl ketone derivatives with a broad scope of substituents. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction is initiated a triplet-triplet energy transfer between the 4CzIPN catalyst and acetylenic triflone, followed by fragmentation to generate a trifluoromethyl radical and an alkynyl radical.

Trifluoromethylsulfones (triflones) are useful compounds for synthesis and beyond. Yet, methods to access chiral triflones are scarce. Here, we present a mild and efficient organocatalytic method for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral triflones using α-aryl vinyl triflones, building blocks previously unexplored in asymmetric synthesis.

Herein, we report the air mediated functionalisation of various saturated heterocycles and ethers aerobically generated radical intermediates to form new C-C bonds using acetylenic and vinyl triflones as radical acceptors. This enables access to a variety of acetylenic and vinyl substituted saturated heterocycles that are rich in synthetic value.

Functionalized ynones can be activated by Tf C=CH , which was generated in situ, to form zwitterionic species. These species were trapped in an intramolecular fashion by several nucleophiles to generate two major types of triflones in a divergent manner. Through fine-tuning of the reaction temperature, bis(triflyl)-6-membered- or (triflyl)-5-membered-fused-heterocycles were achieved in reasonable yields in a totally selective manner.
