Trifluoromethylthiolation by sulfuration of difluorocarbene with elemental sulfur is described for the first time, which overrides long-standing trifluoromethyl anion-based theory. Mechanistic elucidation reveals an unprecedented chemical process for the formation of thiocarbonyl fluoride and also enables transition-metal-mediated trifluoromethylthiolation and [<sup>18</sup> F]trifluoromethylthiolation of α-bromo carbonyl compounds with broad substrate scope and compatibility. ...[more]
