Lewis base-catalyzed trifluoromethylsulfinylation of alcohols and phenols: modular synthesis of trifluoromethanesulfinate esters

Abstract

Herein, a Lewis base catalyzed trifluoromethylsulfinylation of alkyl alcohols and phenols with N-(trifluoromethylsulfinyl)phthalimide which is a bench stable electrophilic trifluoromethylsulfinylating reagent is presented. As a result, modular synthesis of a...
