• rather than an electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagent (Scheme 3). A similar behavior was recently reported by Schoenebeck [37] who showed that isothiocyanates are formed in reactions of primary amines with the (Me4N)SCF3 salt (through a different mechanism). Interesting differences in the NMR spectra
