An　efficient　protocol　for　the　copper-mediated　trifluoromethylthiolation　of　heteroaryl　bromides　has　been　achieved　using　the　copper　complex　(bpy)Cu(SCF3)　as　trifluoromethylthiolating　reagent.　This　procedure　provides　a　straightforward　synthetic　method　for　heteroaryl　trifluoromethyl　sulfides　from　readily　available,　simple　starting　materials.　The　reaction　demonstrates　a　broad　substrate　scope　and　tolerates　a　wide　array　of　functional　groups,　including　nitrile,　ester,　chloro,　nitro,　or　methoxy　substituents.　©　2016　WILEY-VCH　Verlag　GmbH　&　Co.　KGaA,　Weinheim.
