The intra- vs intermolecular transfer-fluoromethylation of aryl fluoromethylthio compounds is proposed. Finely designed ArSCF3 (1a) nicely releases its trifluoromethyl (CF3) group intermolecularly under rhodium catalysis, whereas a difluoromethylated analogue, ArSCF2H compound 1b shows intramolecular reaction.
