An efficient protocolf or the copper-mediated trifluoromethylthiolation of heteroarylb romides has been achieved using the copper complex (bpy)Cu(SCF 3 )a st rifluoromethylthiolatingr eagent. This procedure provides as traightforward synthetic method for heteroarylt rifluoromethyl sulfides from readily available,s imples tarting materials.T he reac-tion demonstratesabroads ubstrate scope andt olerates aw ide array of functional groups,i ncluding nitrile,e ster, chloro,nitro,o rm ethoxy substituents.
