Gravatt, Christopher S.; Johannes, Jeffrey W.; Ghosh, Avipsa published an article in 2021, the title of the article was Photoredox-mediated, nickel-catalyzed trifluoromethylthiolation of aryl and heteroaryl iodides.Electric Literature of 60770-67-4 And the article contains the following content:
The area of trifluoromethylthiolation of aryl halides RI (R = 4-CH3C6H4, 9H-fluoren-2-yl, 4-phenylmorpholine, etc.) has been extensively explored, the current methods require complex and/or air-sensitive catalysts. A method employing a bench-stable nickel(II) salt and an iridium photocatalyst that can mediate the trifluoromethylthiolation of a wide range of electronically diverse aryl and heteroaryl iodides, likely via a Ni(I)/Ni(III) catalytic cycle is reported. The reaction has broad functional group tolerance and potential for application in medicinal chem., as demonstrated by a latestage functionalization approach to access (racemic)-Monepantel. The experimental process involved the reaction of 5-Iodobenzofuran(cas: 60770-67-4).Electric Literature of 60770-67-4
