An　efficient　and　convenient　synthetic　methodology　has　been　developed　with　which　to　construct　-trifluoromethylthio-　and　seleno-,-unsaturated　ketones　through　copper-mediated　trifluoromethylthio(seleno)lation　of　-bromo　,-unsaturated　ketones.　The　corresponding　ketone　products　were　isolated　in　moderate　to　good　yields　and　were　efficiently　converted　into　valuable　alcohols.
