Abstract
A cyclic diamine, 1-methyl-4-(trifluoromethylthio)piperazine (MTTP, 1), prepared by a one-step reaction from commercial materials, is a shelf-stable and powerful electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating (CF3S) reagent with wide reactivity profile. Activation of 1 with triflic acid (TfOH) yields two reactive species A and B, depending on the molar ratios of TfOH/1. B showed unprecedented high reactivity, making possible the trifluoromethylthiolation of electron-deficient aromatic systems. In addition, B accomplished the trifluoromethylthiolation of active methylene compounds under acidic conditions.

Abstract
We have developed an efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed thioesterification of aldehydes using N-thiosuccinimides as the thiolation reagent. This organocatalyzed transition involves the generation of sulfur radicals by single electron transfer of the Breslow enolate (generated from aldehyde and NHC catalyst) with N-thiosuccinimides. This method offers facile access to various highly functionalized thioesters and exhibits good chemical yields and functional group tolerance.

Abstract
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic species, transfer protons, and engage in a range of other intermolecular interactions. The use of this solvent has exponentially increased in the past decade and has become a solvent of choice in some areas, such as C-H functionalization chemistry. In this review, following a brief history of HFIP in organic synthesis and an overview of its physical properties, literature examples of organic reactions using HFIP as a solvent or an additive are presented, emphasizing the effect of solvent of each reaction.

Abstract
Herein, we report a method for unprecedented C3-selective C-H tri- and difluoromethylthiolation of pyridines. The method relies on borane-catalyzed pyridine hydroboration for generation of nucleophilic dihydropyridines; these intermediates react with trifluoromethylthio and difluoromethylthio electrophiles to form functionalized dihydropyridines, which then undergo oxidative aromatization. The method can be used for late-stage functionalization of pyridine drugs for the generation of new drug candidates.

Abstract
Trifluoromethyl sulfoxides are a new class of trifluoromethylthiolating reagent. The sulfoxides engage in metal-free C-H trifluoromethylthiolation with a range of (hetero)arenes. The method is also applicable to the functionalization of important compound classes, such as ligand derivatives and polyaromatics, and in the late-stage trifluoromethylthiolation of medicines and agrochemicals. The isolation and characterization of a sulfonium salt intermediate supports an interrupted Pummerer reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Herein we report the design and synthesis of hypervalent trifluoromethylthio-iodine(III) reagent 1 and the elucidation of its structure by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The trifluoromethylthiolation reactions of 1 with various nucleophiles were explored, and this compound was found to be a versatile electrophilic reagent for the transfer of a trifluoromethylthio group (-SCF3). The hydrogen-bonding mode responsible for the activation of 1 by the solvent 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol was investigated both experimentally and computationally.
