Abstract
A highly efficient Rh-catalyzed carbenoid addition to trifluoromethylthioether enables the formation of a trifluoromethyl-substituted sulfonium ylide. This ylide can act as an electrophilic trifluoromethylation reagent, as demonstrated by trifluoromethylation of β-ketoesters and aryl iodides.
