Abstract
A direct process for the trifluoromethylthiolation of allylic and benzylic alcohols under mild conditions has been developed. A wide range of free alcohols underwent nucleophilic substitution in the presence of stable CuSCF3 and BF3 ⋅Et2O to give the corresponding products in good to excellent yields.
