Abstract
Abstract A variety of 2-alkyl-1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylic acids was prepared from the appropriate alkyl halides, 1,3-dithiane and CO 2 . These acids were reacted with BrF 3 to form the trifluoromethylalkyl derivatives via a combination of ionic and radical trifluorodecarboxylation in about 50–60% yield.
