This review summarizes the recent advances in the catalytic syntheses of CF₃S-containing organic molecules using various nucleophilic or electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating reagents.C-halogen and C-H bonds in various molecules have been transformed to C-SCF₃ bonds by transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, such as cross-coupling of aryl halides.Enantioselective reactions controlled by chiral metal complexes or chiral organocatalysts have afforded many trifluoromethylthiolated chiral architectures, such as β-ketoesters and oxindoles.Very recently, visible-light-induced photoredox trifluoromethylth-iolations have been developed, providing versatile CF₃S-containing structures efficiently.
