Mild‐mannered sulfur : A general method for the synthesis of vinyl trifluoromethyl thioethers starting from readily available di‐, tri‐, and tetrasubstituted vinyl iodides was developed (see scheme). A wide variety of substrates were applied in the reaction with CuSCF 3 to give the corresponding products in high yields, within short reaction times, with retention of the initial E / Z isomer ratio. In addition, a copper‐catalyzed trifluoromethyl thioether protocol has been also developed.
