An　efficient　and　practical　approach　to　-trifluoromethylthio-substituted　ketones　was　developed.　The　trifluoromethylthiolation　of　(bpy)Cu(SCF3)　(bpy　=　2,2-bipyridyl)　with　various　-bromo　ketones　afforded　the　desired　-trifluoromethylthio-substituted　ketones　in　good　yields.　The　reaction　tolerates　more　functionally　than　previously　reported　methods　and　demonstrates　efficient　scalability　and　practicality.
