The BF3-promoted reaction of 4'-nitrobenzenesulphenanilide with simple alkyl- and aryl-alkynes at 80 deg C in the presence of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate provides a one-pot synthetic route to β-fluorovinyl sulphides via a formal regioselective and trans-stereospecific addition of benzenesulphenyl fluoride towards carbon-carbon triple bonds.

The BF3-promoted addition of 4'-nitrobenzenesulphenanilide, NBSA, to a number of aryl- and alkyl-acetylenes has been investigated in dichloromethane, p-xylene and/or benzene.Diphenylacetylene, 1a, 1-phenylbutyne, 1b, and 1-phenylpropyne, 1c, generally lead to 1,2-bis(phenylthio)alkenes 4a-c, and N-(4-nitrophenyl)-S-phenyl-S-(2-phenylthiovinyl)sulphimides, 6a-c, in fair to good yields with trans stereospecificity.Phenylacetylene, 1d, similarly gives the corresponding bis(phenylthio)adduct 4d and sulphimide 6d in dichloromethane, but in the aromatic solvents these products are essentially suppressed in favour of 1-aryl-1-phenyl-2-(phenylthio)ethylenes 7d.On the other hand, alkyl- and, particularly, dialkyl-substituted acetylenes preferentially afford β-fluorovinyl sulphides, 5, with trans stereospecifity.These findings are interpreted in terms of a different reactivity towards nucleophilic attack of the intermediate aryl- and alkyl-trihirenium ions which would result from electrophilic sulphenylation of the corresponding alkynes.Steric effects of the substituents are believed to play a major role in determining the different reactivity observed.
