Persulfate-promoted radical cascade trifluoromethylthiolation and cyclization of 3-alkyl-1-(2-(alkynyl)phenyl)indoles with AgSCF were investigated. This protocol provides a novel route to CFS-substituted indolo[1,2-]quinoline-7-carbaldehydes and CFS-substituted indolo[1,2-]quinoline-7-methanone derivatives via the formation of the C-SCF bond and C-C bond and benzylic carbon oxidation in a single step. This reaction can accommodate a broad range of functional groups. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data confirm the chemical structure of the product. A scale-up experiment and radical inhibition experiments were operated in the reaction system. Photophysical properties of some selected 5-((trifluoromethyl)thio)indolo[1,2-]quinoline-7-carbaldehydes were studied by UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy.

A silver-mediated cascade trifluoromethylthiolation/cyclization of unactivated alkenes has been investigated. This strategy employs AgSCF as the trifluoromethylthiolating reagent to obtain a variety of useful trifluoromethylthiolated tricyclic imidazol derivatives in reasonable yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the present reaction takes place a radical process.

An environmentally friendly electrochemical strategy for the synthesis of SCF-containing oxindoles was developed. This electrochemical transformation was accomplished through a cascade trifluoromethylthiolation/cyclization of -acrylamides with AgSCF, obviating the requirement for external oxidants. A variety of functional groups were well tolerated in this transformation.

A novel radical cascade trifluoromethylthiolation/cyclization of dienes (-alkyl-2-(1-phenylvinyl)aniline derivatives) with AgSCF has been developed. This approach provides simple and efficient access to a wide range of SCF-containing medium-sized rings (7/8/9-membered heterocycles). Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction is realized through a silver-assisted radical cascade cyclization process.

The BnSR (R = CFH or CF)/CPBA/TfO 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 BnSR by CPBA, activation of the in situ-generated sulfoxide by TfO, and intramolecular cyclization/fluoromethylthiolation of the alkyne substrates enabled by the formed electrophilic sulfonium salt to give di/trifluoromethylthiolated heterocycles.
