- AgBF4-Mediated Chlorine-Fluorine Exchange Fluorination for the Synthesis of Pentafluorosulfanyl (Hetero)arenes
-
We report a new protocol to form pentafluorosulfanyl (hetero)arenes via chlorine-fluorine exchange of (hetero)aryl tetrafluorosulfanyl chlorides by AgBF4. The method enables access to electron-deficient pentafluorosulfanyl(hetero)arenes, which are targets that are difficult to synthesize. Two advantages of AgBF4 are its ease of handling and stability. This would be a general transformation protocol.

- IF5 affects the final stage of the Cl-F exchange fluorination in the synthesis of pentafluoro-λ6-sulfanyl-pyridines, pyrimidines and benzenes with electron-withdrawing substituents
-
A difficult chlorine-fluorine (Cl-F) exchange fluorination reaction in the final stage of the preparation of pentafluoro-λ6-sulfanyl-(hetero)arenes having electron-withdrawing substituents has now been elucidated through the use of iodine pentafluoride. A major side-reaction of C-S bond cleavage was sufficiently inhibited by the potential interaction between F and I with a halogen bonding.

- Silver-induced self-immolative Cl-F exchange fluorination of arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides: Synthesis of arylsulfur pentafluorides
-
A novel strategy for the synthesis of arylsulfur pentafluorides by silver carbonate-induced Cl-F exchange fluorination of arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides is reported. This fluorination does not require any exogenous fluoride sources. Rather, the reaction proceeds via the self-immolation of the substrate Ar-SF4Cl.

- Discovery of practical production processes for arylsulfur pentafluorides and their higher homologues, bis- and tris(sulfur pentafluorides): Beginning of a new era of "super-trifluoromethyl" arene chemistry and its industry
-
Various arylsulfur pentafluorides, ArSF5, have long been desired in both academic and industrial areas, and ArSF5 compounds have attracted considerable interest in many areas such as medicines, agrochemicals, and other new materials, since the highly stable SF5 group is considered a "super-trifluoromethyl group" due to its significantly higher electronegativity and lipophilicity. This article describes the first practical method for the production of various arylsulfur pentafluorides and their higher homologues, bis- and tris(sulfur pentafluorides), from the corresponding diaryl disulfides or aryl thiols. The method consists of two steps: (Step 1) treatment of a diaryl disulfide or an aryl thiol with chlorine in the presence of an alkali metal fluoride, and (step 2) treatment of the resulting arylsulfur chlorotetrafluoride with a fluoride source, such as ZnF2, HF, and Sb(III/V) fluorides. The intermediate arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides were isolated by distillation or recrystallization and characterized. The aspects of these new reactions are revealed and reaction mechanisms are discussed. As the method offers considerable improvement over previous methods in cost, yield, practicality, applicability, and large-scale production, the new processes described here can be employed as the first practical methods for the economical production of various arylsulfur pentafluorides and their higher homologues, which could then open up a new era of "super-trifluoromethyl" arene chemistry and its applications in many areas.
