Abstract
We report herein an efficient and site-selective electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolation of indolines. In the absence of any catalyst or additive, C5-selective trifluoromethylthiolation could proceed at room temperature. With palladium used as the catalyst, the selectivity was reversed completely, giving C7-selecive trifluoromethylthiolated products. This reaction features good functional group tolerance, simple operation, mild conditions, and scale-up application. The potential utilities of the products were shown by further transformations.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
