Substitutive electrophilic dehalogenation reactions of CF₃SO₂OX (X=Cl,Br) are reported with some covalent inorganic chlorides. These reactions result in the formation of XX′(X,X′Cl,Br) and several new trifluoromethanesulfonate derivatives in excellent yields. Chlorine(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate also oxidatively adds to unsaturated inorganic substrates such as CO, SO₂ and SF₄ forming new compounds. The reactivity of CF₃SO₂OCl is rather similar to that of FSO₂OBr and some comparisons between the two are given.
