The trifluoromethylthionyl group (-SCF) is an efficient weak directing group for Ir(III)-catalyzed aryl C-H olefination. Various trifluoromethylthioethers provide high levels of mono-olefination products in good to excellent yields under mild conditions with a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand or AgBF as an additive. Mechanistic studies indicate the C-H cleavage is the rate-determining step. The directing group ability of the -SCF group is benchmarked against several other weak directing groups by competition experiments under Ir(III)-catalyzed conditions.
三氟甲硫基(-SCF₃)是用于铱(III)催化的芳基C-H烯烃化反应的高效弱导向基团。在温和条件下,以2,2'-联吡啶配体或AgBF₄作为添加剂,各种三氟甲硫醚能以良好至优异的产率提供高含量的单烯烃化产物。机理研究表明,C-H键裂解是速率决定步骤。通过在铱(III)催化条件下的竞争实验,将-SCF₃基团的导向能力与其他几个弱导向基团进行了比较。
