A new, powerful, and easy-to-handle electrophilic trifluoromethylating agent,S-(trifluoromethyl)-2,8-bis(trifluoromethoxy)dibenzothiophenium triflate (Umemoto reagent IV), was developed. Due to the extraordinary electronic effect of trifluoromethoxy group, Umemoto reagent IV was easily synthesized by a one-pot method from readily available 3,3’-bis(trifluoromethoxy)biphenyl. It was shown that Umemoto reagent IV was more powerful than Umemoto reagent II and could trifluoromethylate many kinds of nucleophilic substrates more effectively. In addition, Umemoto reagent IV was successfully utilized for the preparation of trifluoromethyl nonaflate, a useful trifluoromethoxylating agent. The direct conversion of 2,8-bis(trifluoromethoxy)dibenzothiophene to Umemoto reagent IV with triflic anhydride was achieved, albeit in low yield.
