Abstract
A N-heterocyclic carbene mediates a direct dehydroxytrifluoromethylthiolation of alcohols with a hypervalent iodine(III) reagent to provide CF3S-containing compounds. This method shows excellent stereospecificity and chemoselectivity to give a product with clean inversion of the stereochemical configuration.
