Abstract
Direct perfluoroalkylation of aliphatic thiols was pet-formed in the presen ce of sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (Rongalite). Reaction of mercaptoalkan oic esters with trifluoromethyl bromide gave the corresponding trifluoromet hylthio ethers. Condensation of alkane dithiols with perfluoroalkyl iodides led mainly to fluorinated dithioethers. These alkylation reactions are int erpreted as occurring via in situ formation of dialkyldisulfides. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
