ABSTRACT
An MT-sulfone group was converted to a trifluoromethyl group by treatment with IF(5) after an alkylation reaction. Therefore, an MT-sulfone anion can be used as a trifluoromethyl anion equivalent. The formal asymmetric Michael-addition of a trifluoromethyl anion to crotonaldehyde was also performed.

ABSTRACT
The polyfluorination of α-(arylthio)carbonyl compounds was achieved by a successive application of polyfluorination using IF(5), Friedel-Crafts arylation, and desulfurizing fluorination using IF(5). Three to six fluorine atoms were selectively introduced to the carbons located between the aromatic ring and the carbonyl group.
