Sulfonyl fluorides are valuable synthetic motifs for a variety of applications, among which sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange-based "click chemistry" is currently the most prominent. Consequently, the development of novel and efficient synthetic methods to access these functional groups is of great interest. Herein, we report a mild and environmentally benign electrochemical approach to prepare sulfonyl fluorides using thiols or disulfides, as widely available starting materials, in combination with KF, as an inexpensive, abundant and safe fluoride source. No additional oxidants nor additional catalysts are required and, due to mild reaction conditions, the reaction displays a broad substrate scope, including a variety of alkyl, benzyl, aryl and heteroaryl thiols or disulfides.

Heteroaromatic thiols may be oxidized to the sulfonyl chloride at low temperature (-25 °C) by using 3.3 equiv of aqueous sodium hypochlorite. The reaction is rapid, avoids the use of chlorine gas, and succeeds with substrates that have previously been found to afford little or none of the sulfonamide product with other procedures. The method allows the preparation of the sulfonyl fluorides, which are stable enough to be purified and stored, making them potentially useful monomers in parallel chemistry efforts.
