In this field, direct transformation of unactivated C(sp^(3))–H bonds into C(sp^(3))–SCF_(3) architectures is still a great challenge.We report a highly selective trifluoromethylthiolation of unactivated aliphatic C(sp^(3))–H bonds by combination of proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET) and hydrogen atom transfer(HAT) strategy. A wide range of structurally diverse alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfides are obtained. Furthermore, the use of two different photocatalysts can realize an unprecedented trifluoromethylthiolation and amidation cascade of different C(sp^(3))–H bonds. It can afford a good access to bifunctionalized molecules in synthetically useful yields.展开更多
