Trifluoromethylthiocopper, a versatile reagent for the introduction of the trifluorowiethylthio group into organic compounds, has been prepared i n a crystalline fonit. The thiyl radicals, generated in situ from this precursor, cause the cleavage of the S-S bond of di-and trisulfides to give unsywtntetrical di-and trisulfides. Unsymmetrical n-butyl trifluorowtethyl disulfide is formed by the cleaveage of the C-S bond of n-butyl sulfide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
