title: Copper-catalyzed direct trifluoromethylthiolation of benzylic C-H bonds via nondirected oxidative C(sp3)-H activation.
abstract: A copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylthiolation of benzylic sp(3) C-H bonds was developed via nondirected oxidative C-H activation using readily prepared and stable AgSCF3. This reaction provides a novel and straightforward method for the preparation of various benzyl trifluoromethyl sulfides.
