A straightforward silver-mediated oxidative decarboxylative radical trifluoromethylthiolation reaction of aliphatic carboxylic acid is described. This reaction operates under mild conditions and allows the synthesis of various valuable alkyltrifluoromethylthioethers from abundant alkyl carboxylic acids and convenient nucleophilic AgSCF3 reagent. It provides a practical and efficient approach for the preparation of alkyltrifluoromethylthioethers.
