In　this　account,　we　summarize　recent　work　on　the　direct　introduction　of　the　SCF　3group　by　using　[(bpy)CuSCF　3]　as　trifluoromethylthiolating　reagent.　A　number　of　efficient　and　convenient　strategies　have　been　disclosed　for　the　synthesis　of　trifluoromethylthiolated　compounds,　including　trifluoromethylthiolation　of　aryl,　alkenyl,　and　alkyl　halides,　and　arylboronic　acids.　These　reactions　afford　various　trifluoromethyl　sulfides　in　good　yields.　1　Introduction　2　Synthesis　of　[(bpy)CuSCF　3]　3　Trifluoromethylthiolation　of　Aryl　Halides　4　Trifluoromethylthiolation　of　Alkenyl　Halides　5　Trifluoromethylthiolation　of　Alkyl　Halides　6　Miscellaneous　7　Conclusion.　©　2020　Georg　Thieme　Verlag.　All　rights　reserved.
