Abstract

Owing to its high efficiency, substrate versatility, operational simplicity, and product structure diversity, difunctionalization is a topic of current interest. In this context, some attention has been recently paid to the direct 1,2-bis-trifluorometh(ox)yl(thiol/selenyl)ation of abundant and easily accessible unsaturated hydrocarbons for the single-step construction of biologically important 1,2-bis(trifluoro-methyl/methoxyl/thiol/selenyl) ated compounds. In this Mini-Review, we summarize the recent progress and advances in this attractive field with emphasis on the mechanistic aspect of these reactions.
