Cinchona alkaloid catalysts in combination with air‐ and moisture‐stable N ‐trifluoromethylthiophthalimide as electrophilic SCF 3 source enabled the catalytic enantioselective trifluoromethylsulfenylation. Thus, a series of α‐SCF 3 esters that bear a quaternary carbon stereogenic center were obtained with excellent yield and enantioselectivity. Moreover, the products can be readily converted into valuable α‐SCF 3 β‐hydroxyesters.
