competitive SNAr reaction. Similar SNi-like O-F exchange
reaction was suggested by the reaction of BrF5 and NO3 anion
by Christe.13 The generated IClF4 would further react with
ArSF4Cl 2n to provide 3n and ICl2F3 and/or IF3 and Cl2, which also
continuously contribute the Cl-F exchange reaction of ArSF4Cl
2n to furnish ArSF5 3n, while HetArSF4Cl 2a has lower reactivity
to them. All the process induced by IF5 is an ionic reaction
process as mentioned in the literature.9,10 The side-reaction of
the chlorination of 2l having methyl substituent may involve a
reaction with generated Cl2.

In summary, we have discovered that IF5 is a very effective
reagent for the Cl-F exchange reaction of (hetero)aryl sulfur
chlorotetrafluorides 2, which is the final stage of the synthesis

of SF5-arenes. The synthesis of o-SF5-pyridines bearing an NO2
or CF3 group was achieved for the first time by the IF5 method.
SF5-Pyrimidines were also accessed. IF5 fluorination is also
advantageous for the synthesis of SF5-benzenes with an NO2
group. The effect of the IF5 method can be explained by a SNi-
like fluorination process via halogen bonding which reduces a
dominant side SNAr fluorination reaction. Since the IF5 reagent
is available in ton-scales and is already popular in several
industrial processes, our method will also support the suppliers
of SF5-compounds on the market.
